Being part of the beta may spoil the "ordinary user" experience. Good to hear that the Mac-version of the tracker is a Cocoa app, that's definitely the right way to go!

All things we considered when building this app, so it's good to see we're on one line. I don't think we are a sure winner, that's what makes it fun! In my opinion: software may not be as sexy as music, but to some people it has the same value. Especially gamers: you got FPS'ers, racers, MMORPG'ers, etc. The same can go for coders, designers, etc. All people passionate about software, so a niche of course, but still a defined large audience. Easy to be helped by showing what's popular and what's the right tool for the job. Experience is of course a greater goal to us than just tracking usage. That's why we've got a really quick way of submitting a review, and we'll expand on this in the future. Sharing experiences in a social environment is what we're about. The tracker consist of a Cocoa app, so don't worry, we hate those scripts as much as you do ;) If you'd like a beta account for Wakoopa, send me a ping and I'll hook you up. Thanks! Hi Georg,
