totally disagree. our site littlebiggy.org is in open alpha though not promoted. search has brought us a half a million visitors so far. we dont ask them what features they want so much as see how they use the site and respond to their criticism and questions. had we not done this we would certainly be coding a myopic vision. user feedback has changed our functionality about 75% and much of what we do now is based on real engagement numbers. btw this happened by accident. one of us left a dev sandbox open to crawling and people started contacting us about the site before we even realized it. from that moment forward everything has improved and a lot of wasted development time has been prevented.
