Mendeley goes public and gets some love from ex-Skype and last.fm
Just a few weeks ago I posted about Mendeley and offered some invite codes. The demand was overwhelming and I delivered about 20 invites, that were offered to me by the kind folks at Mendeley, in just under a day.
Since then, Mendeley has moved into public beta, therefore anyone can register and download the software. Another great development is that the software that was originally only available for Windows users (like myself!), is now available in Mac and Linux flavors too.
A press release was sent out this week where some of the project funding info was provided and I’m glad to see some respectable online company names supporting this great project, like former Skype engineers and last.fm Chairman too.
If you didn’t get a code to try out Mendeley during the private beta, go give it a try now. I really recommend it.
