We would like to invite you to become a BETA customer of RoomYak.

We would like to invite you to become a BETA customer of RoomYak. RoomYak is three things:
1. A new social media space to build micro-communities that can collaborate in new ways to achieve significant things
2. A completely new way to look at personally and collectively developed unstructured files.
3. A radically new way to store your data in complete privacy on the Net.
 
Our intent is to work with you on a first project to give you the RoomYak bug that you might pass along to your friends. Me – a well-known Web2.0 and Social Media Guru and Tom Chalker the inventor of RoomYak are “on-call” help you.  Our interest is creating vibrant RoomYak micro communities where real ideas get exchanged, transactions are consummated and deep ties between people bloom.  To get going email  Tom (tom_chalker@datasentinel.com) or myself (holiver@whatifwhatnext.com) to set aside 45 mins to plan a project work through the RoomYak start-up protocol:

First steps:
· Create a plan for an amazing, breakthrough Room Yak project with follow-on support from the RoomYak team.
· Check that RoomYak runs correctly on your computer. Just visit www.roomYak.com and press the “Go to RoomYak now” button. That will install all the software in a couple of minutes. Future visits will start immediately.
· Create your own account (it’s free!) for you to operate on your rooms from any computer.
· Navigate in the RookYak environment – use the mouse and keypad to move around. Double-click on a folder icon to visit a different room. Use the right-click menu to “Visit Furniture” rooms and zoom around there too. Use the menu to “Go Home” or just bang into a door to return to the previous room.
 
Once you feel comfortable with that, there’s more you can try:
· Decorate your private room by dragging files from your local file system in and dropping them on a wall.
· Double-click on these wall objects to edit them. (every wall is like a Desktop)
· Go to a furniture room, click on a piece furniture, use the menu to “Copy” the piece. Select “Go Home” from the menus and use the menu to “Paste” it back. Position it where you want.
 
If you want to see what everyone else is up to:
· Use the menu to “Visit” the public rooms of others
· Zoom around their room and look at their wall (double-click, too!) and floor objects
· You’ll see small, white titles as you move over these object. Click on this bar and you’ll be able to see and enter attach interactive comments for them
· Copy objects from these public rooms to take back to your own rooms.
 
When you ready to show the world what you can do:
· Use the “New Room/Public” menus to create a RoomYak for others to visit. You could put in a Pass Phase to control who can see your room. Alternatively, you can leave it blank and you can turn off the switch to let everyone in without asking.
· Decorate this room with drag&drop operations of 2D files from your local file system or furniture copy/pastes.
· Use the menu to “Copy Web Link”, then go to your emailer and paste in the web shortcut. They can follow that link to visit your room directly.

When can we schedule that first briefing and orientation meeting?  What times next would work best for you. Tom and I will both attend the meeting on skype if that is workable for you.

Cheers!
