Social Media Fanatics

As I was logging in to my Facebook account. I noticed this unfamiliar Facebook Icon.

To my surprise it is a beta tester opportunity for Facebook user to test facebook’s upcoming products. So what is a beta tester really means? This is a term refer to folks who are testing a products or services that is STILL in a developing phase and not yet launch.

Some company use this to cut some expenses and utilize its current clients or costumers to do the job (while testing it). Its actually a win win situation for both company and the beta tester(s).

Here are some excerpt on the Facebook  bete tester page.
