Hello from fairly unique startup

[Carl NGramdata]

Hi, Carl here. I am Founder at a just-launched startup with a UK unique software app NGramdata (as far as we can tell).

Hi Carl,

Just had a look at your site and the free trial asks me to download a zip. Not sure I'm ready to trust you that quickly. Do you have a demo people canplay with? The video you have showing how it works doesn't look very helpful. It's just a continuous feed - I'd just want a daily report on the keywords I'm interested in.

Anyway, welcome to UKBF

Thanks - yes, the download/install world in terms of antivius warnings and blocks for small startups has become quite horrendous. We contacted around 50 major online security companies requesting whitelisting - met with mixed results and non-committal returns and still loads of warning flashes and message boxes at installation - even though the installation zip is digitally signed. I can try and get a flat exe to you for pure desktop placement but that will also be scary security-wise. Maybe just let me know what keywords we can track - we will run on our side and send a report/reports through.

I would not be comfortable installing that either. Why did you choose to make it a desktop application and not a cloud web service - that way people can trial it with no more then an email address....

Thanks - in the plans.....

...we currently stream around 3000 feeds per day re UK national and regional what's-on type news around events, festivals, local happenings, children’s- and adult outdoor activities and are trying to see if we can get established events-sites to use the feeds as input...hence keeping the current TCP/IP feeder just for the exceptional feed stability...

Agreed, not something I would be comfortable with either, not many would....
