I've been pushing out sneak peeks of the site for early feedback to Porter Novelli's Facebook fans (163), LinkedIn Alumni Group (61), my Facebook friends (426) and my Twitter followers (358)
Allowing for quite a lot of cross-over, and the fact that this is a weekend, this is still should put a few close friends and family through the site for more pre-launch testing.
Google has begun to pick up the site in its spidering crawls, too: already 269 pages have been crawled before we really launch the site.
We've got a list of 160 redirects that should stop most people from experiencing a "404 Not Found" error when they click old links to the site to pages that no longer exist (instead they'll be directed seamlessly to the new page.) This will also help with the Google search spider.
So you could say that Google's getting a sneak peek too.
