Brring Update

It just keeps getting better and better. Not!!

In case you don't know about Brring, Brring is a site where you get a Brring number that call forwards to any phone number your wish: home/cell/business/whatever. Every time someone called the BRRING number they heard a short 10 second ad and I got 5 cents. That program was changed as of July 1, which upset a lot of people, including me.

Now I get this email:

You may recall that in early June we announced changes to our reward structure. Notice was sent to you via email and posted on our Blog (http://brring.wordpress.com/2008/06/06/big-changes-at-brring/ ). These changes were effective on July 1st.

Today we discovered a bug in our system that erroneously granted rewards based on our old reward structure. We were able to track down the bug in part based on your reports to our Contact Us page (http://www.brring.com/contact.php). The symptom is that some calls were incorrectly rewarded but others were not. We have squashed the bug and reset the rewards to the correct amounts.

You are receiving this message because those corrections impacted your 'Available Rewards' balance.

Please accept our profound apologies for any confusion caused by these corrections to your reward balance.

This is a perfect example of why we are running Brring as a beta - to seek out and squash those bugs that impact your enjoyment of the service. With your continued help, and patience, we'll continue to improve your Brring experience.

Good thing they are still in beta.
