Since posting the invite page for our upcoming beta, we’ve had a lot of people sign up. Today, we ran some of the numbers to find out which method of notification is preferred, and came up with the following results:

As expected, email is the most popular method of notification for the invites, but interestingly enough a lot of people opted to be invited via instant messenger. We suspect that is mostly because of the lack of good, reliable instant messenger notification across the different providers, and people just want to see if it works. It’ll be interesting to watch as this develops.
