Welcome to eFront

eFront, Inc., an extension of betanews.com, today launched a new online network in a step to provide more specialized software and technology news. The same people behind BetaNews engineered this expansion, but eFront.com now stands as the front door to the network. It provides a customizable homepage for users featuring headlines from multiple sources on the Internet and also includes a showcase on notable product releases.

betanews.com, a site that has operated since June 1998 covering beta version software developments, underwent a complete redesign and features, among other things, improved usability. One of the main improvements visitors will notice is the ability to track beta releases with greater ease. Additionally, in accordance with software developer requests, companies will have free access to a pool of qualified beta testers to aid in the completion of their programs.

FileForum.com, the newest addition to the network, is an extensive download service that stores a wide array of programs updated hourly throughout the day. FileForum allows members to upload their own programs and gives users the opportunity to rate, review, and discuss all software on the site. Visitors will also appreciate the simple navigation as they browse through files.

eFront aims to deliver the latest news as it happens through a customizable “news to your doorstep” system via pager or e-mail, and soon ICQ. Other services include free email forwarding for members, with domain forwarding and dynamic DNS services in the works. Membership to the network is completely free makes you immediately eligible for all eFront contests.

We want to hear all of your questions, comments, concerns, and ideas. Feel free to drop us a line anytime, even if you just want to say “hi.” eFront was created from input you have given us over time, and we hope to continue improving the site based on your feedback.

We hope you enjoy it,
