The Value of Social Media for Market Testing - This is a Test.

It does not take a rocket scientist to understand the value, for instance, of Twitter for instant feedback on a product, service, or copy.

But most people do not realize the value of a group like this one for market testing: case in point: we are about to launch a replacement for e-Lance and Rent-a-Coder for the buying and selling of digital media products and services of all kinds including websites, video, and marketing - all free, with nothing standing in the way of the transactions (sort of like a free dating site for business, with the best features of Linked-in, Facebook, Meetup.com.

What better place to get some feedback about the initial copy and branding: your opinion please:
