If you see a roadtest that has "Cool Tools" in the title, it is part of our Cool Tools Campaign that I kicked off in this discussion:
Cool Tools To Giveaway for a Blog Review
In this campaign, we are offering tools to review, write a blog, or share an experience.
Some of these "cool tools" roadtests are full roadtests with 1-month enrollment periods; some have very short enrollment periods, and others are giveaways because they responded and participated in my Cool Tools blog (see above).
After I kicked off the cool tools campaign, we later decided to use the RoadTest infrastructure for the Cool Tools blogs. We thought this would give the cool blogs more visibility.
I realize now that that has caused some confusion. I hope this clarifies things.
We are no longer pre-selecting candidates for roadtests. We have turned down "roadTest by Invitations". All roadtests (not part of a special campaign) are open and competitive applications.
Sorry for the confusion.
Sincerely,
Randall Scasny
RoadTest Program Manager
