We are still on track on our alpha testing and things are looking really good. The plan is still to move to an open Beta in early April. Thanks to those of you that have left us feedback.
Many of you have still not created a group so I thought I'd share some of my groups to give you ideas. I hope you'll see something that tickles your fancy and entices you to create a group of your own. Here are just a *few* of the 39 groups in which I'm a member:
#1. *My Family Group*. This is the group my wife and three kids use to communicate. My daughters are on the East coast so this is our way of staying close. One mobile text reaches all five of us wherever we are!
#2. *Ultimate Frisbee League Group* I play in a competitive Ultimate Frisbee league and we use this group to communicate. Future Yells make sure we never forget a game and get reminders a day before they happen. After we win, I can text *@fuleague Meeting at Brian's after the game*. It's a great way to keep us in touch.
#3. *Book Club*. My book club meets once a month and we often send each other notes between times about things that relate to books we've discussed.
#4. Lancer's Fan Group. This group is for my son's High School. We use it to report on game results for a variety of sports. Only a few of us can Yell to this group, but anyone can join.
#5 *50th Birthday Trip* A group of us are going to ride Harley's in the Badlands this summer. LittleYell helps us stay in touch before the event and we'll use it on our phones to communicate while we are there.
#6. *In-law's Family Group* My wife has six siblings that have fourteen children. There are thirty of us in her larger family group. They are a fun group and always have things going on. LittleYell helps keep us together.
Some of these groups are public and some are private. LittleYell has worked great for all of them.
Get in there and create a group and invite some folks. If you have any questions, please leave feedback or drop me a note.
Best,
Scott

Jeff and I want to thank you for participating in LittleYell's early days and hope that you are enjoying using the product. We are marching forward towards an open Beta that will not require an invitation code. If the Cosmic All that watches over all Internet Startups is kind to us, it will happen in late March or early April.
To make it happen, we need your help. First, we need to make any traps, cliffs, bugs and frustrations go away. We need your feedback. Please visit Feedback and tell us about your experience with the product. What did you like? What did you hate. What problems did you have?
Second, we want you to create a group. Start with a small group. We'd recommend your immediate family, but any small group will do. Just visit LittleYell.com and click on *Groups* and then *Create Group*. Make sure you let us know how it goes.
I created a group for the five us in our nuclear family and we love to use it. All of us have active mobile phones. I'll be out and text in a Yell *"@dfam Does anybody need something from Trader Joes"* and get back *"cameron@scott Get me some of those orange chocolate candies"*. It works just as well by email for longer messages.
We have another family group for my wife's large extended family. This one has over 30 members. Some of them have active mobile phones and some just get emails, but any of us can send a single message from the web site, from email or a mobile phone and know that everyone will hear the Yell. It's awesome.
Thanks for your help. Get started creating that group. Leave us lots of feedback.

LittleYell is the brainchild of Scott Daniel and Jeff Kunzelman, two computer dudes that met in college and have since collaborated on a number of startups and worked together at a number of companies after they sold the startups. Basically, Scott and Jeff have been stuck with each other for over thirty very productive years.
LittleYell is the solution to a problem they saw as a gap in the tools for sending short messages. There are tools that reasonably easy to use to send short messages that are not very useful and there are useful tools that are hard to use. LittleYell attempts to be useful and easy to use.
We hope you like it.
