SpaceTime product debuted in beta on June 4, 2007. On the day of the release, the
San Jose Mercury News
noted that the software was "the most advanced 3-D navigation system I've seen",
[4]
while
TechCrunch
commented that SpaceTime is "pure eye candy, sort of like
Second Life
meets
Firefox
."
[5]
The technology was later presented at the 2008 CES tradeshow.

The beta browser received mixed reviews. Katherine Boehret of
The Wall Street Journal
stated that "though I’ll still rely on
Google
for basic searches,
visual search
can save time and turn searching into a fun process."
[8]
Jack M. Germain, of
TechNewsWorld
described how "SpaceTime delivers on its promise to save me time and provide a revolutionary online searching too" stating that "while I continue to use the 3-D searching environment, though, I am having more fun than I should at work."
[9]
Edward N. Albro of
PCWorld
gave the beta browser a 2.5/5 stating that while its "visual results can make searches easier", that "for basic browsing, SpaceTime has no appeal" and that the browser was too "buggy and slow for basic browsing".
