Interest in our pubCenter beta is picking up

I'll repeat the wise words from our product manager about expectations - pubCenter is still a beta. That said, it was terrific to see the reception for pubCenter on the web yesterday after the announcement that we're seeking to grow the number of beta testers. Many of the news sites recognized this is an important milestone for pubCenter and shared the information with their readers. Some of our beta users helped share the news and some shared their experiences as well. It's still a beta and getting the word out and getting feedback that will make it better is key today.

Here's a sample of the sites that picked up on Kevin's announcement:

LiveSide : "We are quite happy with pubCenter, and encourage you to give it a try on your sites."
Marketing Pilgrim
Search Engine Journal
IT Wire
eBrandz
Search Engine Roundtable
Register
Learn Success with Randy Brown : "I’ve been using PubCenter for several months now and it has some great features for publishers"

In addition, lots of mentions about our news on Twitter: http://search.twitter.com/search?q=pubcenter

Thanks to all of them for getting this conversation started.

Why is this program not available to the people not living in the US? just like google anyone should be able to participate in it even the ones with small personal site

It's a bit disappointing that the Beta is onlyfor U.S. publishers... What would be good is a time frame when it is expected to go global, I know this maybe a little pre-mature since this program was just announce.

I'll stay tune for developments this is good for online marketing and I expect a really big response to this new effort from Microsoft.

Hi,

I would like to know, when will this be released for publishers outside the U.S. ? I'm from Norway and want a peace of the action. Since I've read so much good reviews about it, and to be honest I am fed up over Google Adsense.
