Google Needs Beta Testers

It was a surprise when we caught Google advertising on Craigslist. Apparently, they are looking for testers to try out their new application. Google is looking for Beta testers to try out their new software application called GSink. The advertisement go as follows:

“GSink is a software application designed to help share contacts between Google, Gmail Google applications users.

We are presently seeking beta testers to help us test this new software from home or work. If you’re interested in participating in our beta test, please send us an e-mail and we will share with you more details about the program.

Thank you for your interest in helping us make this a better software program” (Source: Craigslist Ad PostingID: 1036171786)

As indicated, you may simply contact Google if you want to help them out.

    Now that’s funny. If I saw that ad on craigslist, I would think it was a spam post (CG seems to be full of spam in the jobs section)

    nice post, i would figure google would have its own list of people jumping to try out new stuff, and not need to go to another site to find users.

    I don’t think its google looking for beta testers.

    Rather it seems to be the developers of the application below, who could perhaps be looking for testers.

    GSync
    GSync. what it can do:. Push new calendars and calendar changes from Google Calendar™ to iCal; Push new events and event changes from Google Calendar to …

    I guess you have a point. It seems like the application developers are the ones looking for Beta testers. However, Gsync is another application. You can see GSink tackled in the Google Groups.

    And here is the official site which seems rather unprofessional looking to me. http://gsink.com/
