commented on a projectThe guys at Diaspora need to learn one thing about the IT business, and that is just being a good programmer is not enough. If you make commitments to backers you need to fulfill them. If for some reason there is a problem that is delaying that commitment being fulfilled then you communicate the status regularly. Similarly if you tell backers who may have had problems with the survey to send you an email you reply to them with an update. I don't even care if it's a bulk "Hey thanks for your email. We're a little snowed under right now. We'll get back to you in a week or so" sort of email. You just need to communicate. I know the schwag will take a little time to reach me and the 6000+ other backers (i.e. if I'm am going to get any - I don't know - I've had no replies from anyone at Diasopra) and I'm kind of OK with that. What I'm annoyed about is that as one of the top 300 or so backers (based on amount pledged) I am yet to receive an invitation to view and use the Diaspora Alpha. Come on. You're software engineers. That part should not be too hard. Even I, as a novice hack programmer, could probably cobble something together in a few day that would automatically send out invitations to a list of backers.
