Don't know if it's OK to link to a Verge article, but couldn't linkt the Mailbox homepage since that's linked to another Mailbox post. In the Verge article they talk about the Beta and give a Direct Download link (also in related links above). I've been using the Mailbox app since day 1 and I love it, really curious to see how they've translated the easy experience onto Mac.

So.many.comments haha. Scarcity = brilliant strategy

@bramk Not always. We tried this model with http://meeet.co - There was not near the demand of Mailbox (1.5+ million in waiting list), so our launch was under-hyped. I'd say the magic number where you can start making a website or product invite-only is around the 50,000 zone, where there are enough interested people to sustain the service by inviting other people. Another option would be to start beta with an open-plan and move to invite-only after official launch, but again, there'd still need to be a large enough demand.

Lachlan Campbell
@rustydingo I've got more, do you still need one?
Adrian Phillips
@lachlanjc all good Lachlan, I actually have 2 leftover now. Thanks for checking.
Lachlan Campbell
@rustydingo Ok, great.
Adrian Phillips
Literally the best sign up process I've ever seen. Even down to the way the can munches on the betacoins. That being said I've got 3 betacoins, who wants them?
Adam Kazwell
@rustydingo yes please :) kazwell at gmail
Adrian Phillips
