Riya Alpha is Ready
At 7:12pm PST on Oct 28 build # 1062 was pushed to the production system. This is the alpha build for Riya. So why haven't you got your invites? I wanted to let the team rest over the weekend so once we launch we can be there to react. Everyone is just exhausted and there are always issues once you launch. The team deserves a weekend off (after months of working most weekends). I know you all really want to use this product and all week it's been kind of a tease...;-), but I hope you can understand my decision. The first folks to sign up (many of whom sent in their requests almost 2 months ago) will be the first to get the invites. If the system holds up we will keep letting more in.
Thank you all for your patience and support (in your blogs about us) it has truly sustained us.

That is so exciting! I can't wait to try this out! As a developer, I think it's great that the CEO is smart enough to tell everyone to take a break and ramp up for the alpha. Here's to hoping your team has an awesome, relaxing weekend!
