>Go to Twitter logged out, what do you see? How about Facebook? With respect to the dev; most people have a pretty good idea what Facebook and Twitter are about and some idea of the huge numbers of people using each site. It's also highly likely that we all know countless people with Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc. accounts. So, even if there's a locked door with a "Create an Account to See What's Inside!" sign at the entrance, we've a pretty good idea what's going on inside, can be pretty sure that we'll find someone in there to interact with, and so make an informed decision as to whether to venture in. Vers? How many people have even heard of it --never mind know anyone with an account there? So, what's the incentive for me [or anyone] to go to the hassle of setting up yet another website account, just to see what's inside? The huge incumbent social media websites don't need to try and draw people in. New upstarts do. And I think it takes a bit more enticement than "We're not going to tell you what's in here. But buy a ticket anyway. It'll be great!"
