Qtik subscription clearinghouse asks for beta testers: "Qtik's goal is to create a sustainable information ecology where quality web content can be created, evolve and thrive." In the words of cofounder Scott Wickham: "Qtik allows our patrons (users) to access all of the network's content for one flat price. By aggregating content of multiple sites into one subscription it increases the value of the subscription to the readers which makes it easier to sell subscriptions. The subscription fees are then divided among the content providers. Ideally testers will use the technology to protect part of their content and in the process you can give us feeback about the quality of instructions and the robustness of the service."
