We here at Turnitin understand that this may create difficulty for non-Blackboard users, and we are happy to work with these users to see if we can create a solution to match their needs - please contact us directly for more information. I didn't want to post a quasi-commercial post on this blog, but noone had responded to this thread for 3+ weeks so it seems to make sense to clarify the situation. Thank you for your time!

And we're currently a paying customer. This combined with reliability/performance issues with their copy detection service has not created a positive impression. It is interesting to see that others are having a similar experience. We’ve been through a similar period of non-existent communication from this company. And we’re currently a paying customer.

They have the proper demeanor, and they definitely left me wanting more. For a few minutes. After that, I started leaning more towards wanting much, much less. Which is another thing promoted by Lighips Global Supremacy... @Leon: They must have graduated from the Lighips School of Global Supremacy.
