jaxtr! huh?

Doing what I do people often send me links to things and invitations to ‘try stuff out’.

In this instance my ‘industry insider’ Dr Beton (to his friends) invited me to sign up to jaxtr.

I am sorry to say jaxtr – I don’t really get it.

I signed up. I sent out a couple of invites but then had a look round. I can’t even see the contact details of the person who invited me! There is a ‘friends’ tab which seems to afford the user the opportunity to invite more people but how on earth does one find them once they accept the invitation?

Hello…hello…

I ended up finding the afore mentioned Dr Beton by referring back to the invitation email.

Dear jaxtr,

As the user I like to admire your technical ability but, all I want to do is chat to my friends and you seem to have forgotten to tell me how.

Best,

I.

  • Yes, the link is in the email “Link to call me for free”. I agree the friends tab would also be a good place to list the person whose invitation you accepted.

  • Hi Konstantin,

    I’m glad you agree. I think it should also show you who you have invited.

    It might also be quite useful to be able to modify the invitation email that is sent?

    I.
