XYplorer Beta Club

Okay, I started paying for publicity. XYplorer is ready for world domination, and the world shall know!

Today I submitted XY for "Highlight of the Week" located near to the top of this page: http://www.snapfiles.com/
It is not yet visible. What I still need is a sentence of max 122 characters that describes and promotes XYplorer in an unresistable way! Tough job, especially if you are so close to the product as I am. Believe me, I dream of XY every night.

If any of you has a snappy idea how to squeeze the greatness of XYplorer into 122 characters, let's hear it, brothers and sisters!

Need something in there about "new features weekly" or similar...to show that product is not just static for months as others are...

"A developer so close to the product that he dreams of ways to improve XY every night."

But that conveys unfinishedness as well.

I'm working on something more-into-the-face and am playing with Zaine's phrase:

"Raw power meets creative efficiency meets full carry-around-ability. XYplorer is the Zen of file management."

"XYplorer’s combination of raw power and creative efficiency screams German. XYplorer is a power user’s paradise."

"XYplorer’s combination of raw power and creative efficiency screams German. Enter the power user’s paradise!"

This night I dreamt of Outlook dropping. Got my mail?

Sure have, as soon as I have a minute I'll give it a try...

Just be careful not to go over the top with marketing speak. I and a lot of other people HATE OTT marketing speak :/

OTT??

OTT= Over the top

My suggestion for the marketing blurb:

If you're critical about "how" rather than "what", then XYplorer is for you.

I think that a good software helps its users do something in smart ways (e.g., quickly and easily and with fun). But, unfortunately, most softwares just focus on the individual features.

I found that XYplorer is rarely good and right in this regard! It seems like that other competing tools are one-dimensional (i.e., only focuses on "what"), while XYplore is two-dimensional (i.e., focuses on both "what" and "how").

What this says and what, I think, it actually means are likely two opposite extremes..."rarely good" basically says that XY is good only on rare occasions...which I don't feel was the intent...but what, I believe, was meant was that XY was unusual in how good it is compared to other products...

I'll be first to admit that English is a difficult language to master! Even natives here, like me, have problems at times! So for our foreign users, I try to help when I can....

Thanks for your correction for my poor English. What I meant was not "rarely" but "exceptionally".

Frankly speaking, it was a direct translation of a Korean adverb. In Korean, it's perfect, but does mean the opposite in English!

So what I really meant was that very rarely we can find such a good software like XYplorer.
