How will beta stages work?
Closed beta has started! Every day more people are invited to join closed beta. To be entered into the pool for invite codes, set up an Open ID account and validate it. Invite codes are given out daily to randomly chosen Open ID accounts. On April 30, 2009, open beta will begin. To create an account in open beta, you can either buy a paid account or obtain an invite code. Invite codes will initially be given to those who took part in closed beta, as well as those who were active in development and discussion in the pre-launch stage. Every Open ID account that is validated when open beta begins will receive an invite code, given out over a few days. Open beta will also correspond with the one-time sale of 400 seed accounts. More information about the beta process and the expected timeline can be found here.
