Totally agree. We can see what happened with Meerkat (though 100 users is waaaay in their rearview mirror) — huge launch, big buzz, now pretty much crickets. I mean, I’d take their hype, but it’s gotta turn into something that can last.
I just published a blog post about how we acquired our first 100 users and how we’ll get to 1000 and beyond. Hope you can check it out!
