Don't
take our word for it -- listen to what
some of the most respected developers in
the industry have to say:
Kevin Adair,
Cybration, Inc.
With regards to Scott Swedorski and
his ability to judge software and the
credibility his word carried, his word
is gospel. The cow rating system he
pioneered at TUCOWS is still one of the
most sought after ratings. Everyone
wants 5 cows on their software. I know
how it can benefit a small company from
my own personal experience. We went from
a simple one product company to one of
the industries leading video chat
software companies. By having a high
rating from Mr. Swedorski and getting
into his distribution network was
incredible... We maintain several
thousand downloads a day.
Nick Bradbury,
Bradbury Software, LLC
Over the years I have worked with
Scott, his reviews and insights to
software have been instrumental to my
success. Not only does he understand the
industry, he helped create and define
how the software review process is
today.
Chris Hoffman,
Mystik Media
Scott has exceptional rating and
reviewing skills. The service offered
continually raises the bar for quality
standards. Always fast and friendly
results, Scott is a true pleasure to
work with.
Sharon Housley

NotePage Inc.
In the past I've worked with Scott
Swedorski sharing ideas relating to
software development and marketing. He
understands the industry, and what
consumers want. Scott provides great
feedback on feature sets and has been
helpful in improving our product line.

Famatech, LLC
I have known Scott Swedorski since
2000. From this experience I can
conclude that Scott has very broad
knowledge of IT market, he is an expert
when it comes to reviewing software. I'm
100% sure that Scott can manage IT
projects either from the technical point
of view or as the marketing guy. The key
factor is his understanding of both
technical aspects of software and deep
understanding what the end-users need.
Michael Kovnick,
Cyberspace Headquarters, LLC
I have always worked with Scott as it
relates to our product listings. I can
say without any hesitation whatsoever,
that Scott has always been the best
person to work with in this regard.
Besides quality of reviews, the positive
impact on our company as a result is
beyond measure. At one point, we were
able to measure as much as 20% of our
growth as being directly related to
Scott’s efforts. Working with Scott has
always been more than a pleasure. If he
promises something, he delivers more.
When there is problem, he handles it
with more professionalism than any other
I have met, and he has always has a way
of putting out fires while leaving
smiles on everyone’s face.
Dr. Peter Komorowski,
Software Brat Inc.
Scott Swedorski has an exceptional
aptitude for assessing and rating the
quality of software according to
relevant and realistic criteria. The
five cow rating system stands head and
shoulders above the rest with respect to
its credibility and fairness. Those who
wish to buy software or create their own
can benefit by observing Scott’s
guidelines.
Campbell Mander,
Castle Software
Through my dealings with Scott, I have
always found him to be a man of very
high standards, both technically and
ethically. His replies to email queries
were always timely and complete. If he
provides the same level of service to
everyone that he provided to me, then I
strongly suggest that you trust him and
use his services
Marc Orchant,
VanDyke Software, Inc.
Scott Swedorski's ability to review
our very technical products is one of
the primary reasons we have always made
him a principle part of our distribution
strategy. At VanDyke Software, we make
heavy-duty network security tools for
systems administrators, software
developers, and webmasters. Our flagship
product, SecureCRT, is a veritable Swiss
army knife program and its complexity
has confused most reviewers. As a
result, many of the reviews of this
program tend to miss its richness.
Scott's reviews of SecureCRT provided
the community with a technically
accurate, succinct summary of what this
product has to offer.
Slaven Radic,
Poco
Systems Inc.
We have been extremely pleased with
the service Scott Swedorski provided via
Tucows download site. Our software
reviews were always accurate and were
able to showcase the best features our
software had to offer. Furthermore, we
privately received further feedback on
missing or incomplete features of our
software which gave us great insight
into what our target market demanded the
most, and where we should focus our
attention. It all resulted in increased
sales, excellent copy for our
promotional materials, and better focus
in our product development to meet the
always changing needs of our market.
With his knowledge of Windows software
Scott was in a great position to
accurately assess the current state of
our products and give us the ability to
fine-tune our future development
efforts.
Mark Peterson,
Rhino Software, Inc.
I've been writing software for a
long time, and have been involved with
Internet based software since 1995.
Since I started RhinoSoft.com in 1996
I've worked with Scott directly. Scott
has been a true pioneer in the
try-before-you-buy industry, and has
been a pioneer in marketing and sales.
From the very start Scott has guided me
to making the very best software I can,
and has helped my company grow from a
part-time business to one that employees
many people. Like many other companies
and individuals in the software
industry, Scott has been a great asset.
Kathy
Salisbury,
Pharos Games
Scott Swedorski (through Tucows) was
instrumental in getting attention for my
software products. No other software
site has impacted my sales in such a
positive manner. Not only that, but the
review on Tucows was noticed by
Scholastic, Inc, the largest publisher
of children's books in the world.
Because of the Tucows review, I signed a
contract with Scholastic for the new
version of my Cherokee Trails
educational game.
Mike Stevenson,
Liquid Mirror
Your review for the Seal of Quality
was in-depth and extremely insightful.
It will be very helpful for future
development. It's probably the most
constructive piece of advice I've ever
had on the product, and I've solicited
literally thousands of opinions. This
was well worth the price, even if we
hadn't received the seal. Thank you!
Scott J. De
Sapio,
STOPzilla!
The impact Scott had on our success is
simply impossible to measure. Being "newbies"
to the software publishing arena,
Scott's constant guidance and advice,
was invaluable and always humbly
appreciated as an undeserved gift. Scott
Swedorski remains an inspirational
figure throughout our organization and
will always be regarded as one of our
most valued relationships.
Bethany Siegler,
DreamQuest Software
DreamQuest Software has been submitting
our Championship Pro games to Scott for
several years now. We have always
received fair and accurate reviews and
rating. This information helped to
assess and highlight our games'
strengths and supported in increased
sales.
Kathleen
Swedorski,
Scott's mother
My boy is a wonderful person. What
more can I say?
Paul Thelen,
Big
Fish Games LLC
Scott did one of the best reviews of
my games early on in the evolution of
Big Fish Games. His feedback and
ratings of my games often prompted new
versions which greatly improved sales
and conversion rates from the free to
the paid version. It was this feedback
that made Tucows the first site we
launched new games. Scott has a great
understanding of the shareware market
and what it takes to make a good product
a great product. |
