Working with new technology companies I hear about beta testing opportunities fairly often, and here are three picks to share with Brand Republic readers: Normal 0
Jinni
http://www.jinni.com
Are you in the mood for a certain kind of movie but not sure what film to select? Simply type in information about what type of film you might want to see and Jinni will get back to you with everything from romantic comedy to science fiction to action and more.
The Filter
http://www.thefilter.com/
Another way to personalize your content -- use The Filter much like you already use Last.FM and get pointed to your taste in music, movies and video content. It reads your personal taste and feeds back new selections that you may enjoy. For 80s music fans, you might appreciate that it has Peter Gabriel's involvement.
Skyfire
http://www.skyfire.com
New to the UK is mobile browser Skyfire, that lets you browse the internet from your mobile phone. Point your mobile browser to www.get.skyfire.com for a quick download to your phone (check this link for phones supported by Skyfire) and it will render websites quickly onto your mobile for viewing. Skyfire helps you explore online content just as you would expect to find it on your PC. Great for viewing through Skyfire is BBC iPlayer, Facebook, MySpace, YouTube and listening to music via Last.FM
Note: I’ve been working with Skyfire to help with the company’s UK launch here this week, and based on this service's huge popularity in the states, it is likely to attract thousands of fans here. For more coverage about Skyfire see what Daniel Robinson of VNUNet.com has to say here, and Contagious Magazine has listed it this week as a top pick.
Loving being beta,

Thanks for mentioning our site, <a href="http://www.jinni.com">Jinni</a>. We think our search and recommendation service based on the Movie Genome offers a new and satisfying way to choose movies and TV shows. We welcome feedback on our beta!
