I think the difference in motivation is important. Early adoption of startups is based in part on trying out something that could be the next big thing. Is that something just one of many side projects, or maybe a one-night coding session that someone uploaded and has no plans for iteration or pivot based on feedback/market development? Especially in the age of Facebook Connect, I am becoming increasingly wary of trying out most new apps because I'm having difficulty gauging the motivation of the founder(s). In truth, I usually go through several pages of an app's development blog before I even think of trying something out. If there's no dev blog, I generally assume that it's just a "project", and not something that will grow or change too much.
