After a several months of long days and nights getting Filtrbox in shape and testing with a tightly controlled private beta group, we are now excited to announce the expansion of the private beta program. We will be sending out invites to those of you who pre-registered with us. Invites will go out over the next few days!

We have gotten some great feedback from our early test users, and have incorporated as much of it as possible into our latest release. We are looking forward to sharing the Filtrbox service with you and getting additional feedback and input.
