- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4ThugEsquire, do you care about the Google Trusted Tester program?
- burke, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2"Can I tell others about the Trusted Tester Program? --> No, you can't."
Well good thing we all know now. - NoahK, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1That's hot. And my best friend's husband just got hired at Google. Gunna have to hit him up for an invite soon :)

- rincebrain, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0According to the source link, the guy who found this isn't on Google's list of testers anyway, he just noticed the /tester on a recent public beta and started trying a brute-force attack by hand on some URLs until he found the above page.
- andocom, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I'll second the "That's Hot" WTF call there jkfan87
- Jugalator, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This is quite common among software companies... To invite family and other closely known people to closed betas. I really don't see any big news here.
- b04155, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"Confidential" only works for the government... also, For Your Eyes Only, Secret, Top Secret. Well, maybe not ALWAYS, but, eh, whatever.
- Hoohoonick, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The people here claiming that they are with the program, must be liars, since the REAL testers know the rule number one: DO NOT TALK ABOUT FIGHT CLUB!
- chicksdigme, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0If it's a secret, then they should not have made the page public.
Actually, there are Google beta products tested by non-Trusted Testers: gmail, google news was for a while - jilt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0My buddy is in Mt. View today for his first day at Google. He better send me an invite asap.
- BxBoy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0'trust' is such a lose term nowadays..
- cmajewski, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I am on the Gmail tester program...have been for years.
- Iced_Eagle, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Wait, google has testers?!?!?!
Stop the press! - TROGDOR42, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0From the FAQ:
"Can I invite my friends to become Trusted Testers?
Sorry, but for now, only Google employees can invite their friends and family members to become Trusted Testers. We'd prefer it if you didn't mention the Trusted Tester Program to anyone outside of Google."
And it's on digg. Great job keeping the secret, Google. - bjwest, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0So. They're free to get whoever they want for beta testing. It's not like they're required to open it up to the public..
Def. no dig here.. - mockstar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0quoting the article: "A program like this probably isn't much of a surprise to anyone"
exactly. - Nanx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Anyone hook me up with an Apple beta testing program? Not the ADC
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0amazing...they do test things before they release them to the market?

Ever heard of a sense of humor? The fact that the FAQ is publically accessible, shows that this is not a secret. - evilxhwnd, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0^ lmao
- capajc, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Confidential? Feh. Makes it sound more important than it is.
- gamerzworld, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0meh no way to get in. Damn, I dont know anyone at google. Anyone here work at google that would want to be my friend? :) lol
