Really exciting stuff. Thanks to everyone on the team here who's worked so hard to get to this point.  We've started sending out invites, so if you asked for one, it will be coming soon.  A couple things we've figure out quickly and I wanted to share.

1.  Right now, the site works a lot better in Firefox than in I.E. 7.  With IE, there are some styling issues that cause some functionality to not work perfectly. We're working on it, but if you can, please use firefox for now.

2.  There are some emails that there are problems with HTML encoding and thus they don't look quite right.  A couple links have also gotten messed up in the encoding.  We're working on this too :-)

3.  There seems to be a bug sometimes where you challenge someone and it doesn't come through. The challenge does show up on your activity stream, so you can click on the pikum from there and enter.  

 The big reason we wanted to start letting people in today is that hundreds of users are the best way to continue to iterate and improve the site. The core processes of play, create, deposit, and withdraw are working well - now it's refining the very large feature set we've included for launch.  It's beta, so we are looking for feedback from everyone we let in :-)

To give feedback, just click - "my pikum" then "feedback" - it's really easy and goes right to our product and technology team.  We review the feedback as a team and will use it as we continue product development and iteration.  

btw - within 1 hour, we passed 50 users :-)... we'll be at 100 soon... If you've got an invite - get in now and enter some pikum's for the week-end.
