Holy shit. It’s finally here. The day we no longer consider ourselves a work in progress. The day we start trying to get popular, make money, take ourselves seriously, etc., etc. It’s all falling into place. We’ve learned how to write, we have a video to pitch our application, and we finally got a fantasy sword company to advertise with us. The world is pretty much our oyster. Time to get excited.

As of today NextRound Groups are functional in a private beta setting. If you sign up for Beta (upper right sidebar) we’ll invite you into a feedback group and from there you can create your own group for you and your buddies. Things are working well but not yet 100% (hence the beta) so anticipate a bug here or there. We welcome suggestions and feedback.

Also going forward anticipate 7 to 8 posts a day of our sometimes informative, regularly entertaining content. All we ask — if you enjoy NextRound and would like to see it become even more successful — is to help us out with any of the following:

• Sign up for NextRound Groups Beta. It’s all in the upper portion of the right sidebar. Watch the video and make it happen.

• Email Your Friends Our Content. If you can think of anyone who might like our content quit being a shitty friend and encourage them to check it out. We make it easy. Just click “email” at the end of any article.

• Forward the NextRound Groups Video. Maybe you don’t have enough friends to take advantage of NR Groups, but your little brother does. Let him know what he’s missing out on.

• Send Us Content Tips. We already receive a lot of them, but we can never get too many. If you run across a funny news item, video, picture, or anything else you think we might be able to do something with, email it to us. We’ll give you credit and let everyone know how big your dong is.

• Digg, Reddit, Stumble Upon, Whatever. If you use any of these content sharing applications, fire away with any of our stuff. Every little bit helps.

OK, that’s all the begging we’re capable of. Probably won’t happen again any time soon. We’ll be busy informing you of how cool and tough we are.

Stick around. Things are about to get interesting.
