Beta Testing?

Need help finding beta testers for free online service I'm developing, similar to America Online™ (not affiliated in any way.) How might I find others interested in helping me develop?

Update:

I don't use a URL yet. The service is software based (similar to AOL or Prodigy.) I'm not trying to compete, but to offer a different experience altogether.

    I've done beta testing for a number of projects over the years. for both software and web development. I signed up with Adobe just to get the free stuff and that's the biggest draw...but I am no simple surfer/puter user. I am a coder on developer in my own right. so please trust me when I say it helps to have someone say this part locks up... its a much greater help to have someone be able to say...there's a problem in this array or string...Craigslist is one place to post a request for local testers and you'll want local people you can sit down with and talk to about likes and dislikes...good luck and let me know how it goes..

    I don't really think competing with the big blue triangle is really a good idea. If it looks interesting though I might be interested in helping out.
