By popular demand I will very soon push an updated version of the #CyberEspresso which now also includes a first iteration of the "source-view", i.e. which sources are currently configured to be pulled from.

Few things missing:

- Source Category (e.g. Organization, Individual, News)
- Source Name (e.g Instead of blogspot.com it should say Google Online Security Blog)

But at least now there's transparency in where data is being collected from, and consequently also where it is NOT being collected from.

Small steps towards improving the service, hopefully also making it a little bit more useful and valuable.

Getting ready to release #CyberEspresso to the beta-testers. Have only just now successfully completed the entire process/application flow from Account Creation -> Authentication -> Create new feed -> Configure/Tailor/Customize feed -> Process new article -> Publish article to configured feed(s) -> Find article in feed reader app.

That completes an absolutely massive amount of work for me and I'm incredibly proud of this work.

What now remains to see, and this is absolutely nerve-racking, is to see if people find it as useful as I think it is. This real-world testing/review/validation of an idea is terrifying.

Luckily the beta-group is still rather limited to just above 100 people, so at least I've got limited exposure there and people tend to forget quickly if this should (god forbid) flop ;-)

Not sure how many actually care about this sort of personal progress, but well... now it's out there anyways.

Next weekend this is all happening!

Happy to report that I'm making good progress on the #CyberEspresso which means that the now almost 100 of you who have expressed interested in participating in the beta shall get to do so as planned towards the end of May.

For this beta you will be able to:

1. Create an account (OMG!).
2. Create one, or more, feed(s).
3. Configure feeds based on which primary article categorization the feeds should populate with.
4. View all sources from where articles are pulled.

That should enable you to "experience" the fundamental value proposition of the Espresso.

After this initial release I will try and steer feature selection based on feedback, and where you most feel things could improve. I really, really appreciate that so many are willing to try it out, and hopefully at least some will also help me with feedback ;-)
