Is this users as in facebook installs, or users as in ios/android app installs. Big difference, as socialcam makes you authorize their facebook app to watch videos posted by other socialcam users via FB. Having those users add the socialcam app does not equal a app download, nor a active user in my opinion. Their only interaction was watching a video. Its the same thing as authorizing yahoo to read a story a friend posted. You can call that a "user" but you are just lieing to yourself. Its a glorified visit.
Still, its crazy impressive either way- But it does not compare to instagram style numbers if they are counting that. Instagram did their reported numbers in app downloads, not facebook auths.
- enjo 14y agoDo you count videos served or videos uploaded as the primary metric for YouTube? It's the latter that drives revenue after all.
- tarallemsi 14y agoHave to agree that this stat smells a liiiitttttle fishy https://twitter.com/#!/search/socialcam https://twitter.com/#!/search/socialcam -- you'd expect more twitter action for a social thingie with 4MM new users in a weekend
- rabidsnail 14y agoIf you want evidence for how much adoption it has, download it and see how many followers you get. More evidence: it's the #2 free app on the app store.
- tarallemsi 14y ago#2 on app store is definitely impressive. Why only 25 ratings I wonder.. App is very nice, fast, and functional Felt like a bit of a google+ ghost town vibe though. On the follow friends screen it looked like a ton of my friends were on socialcam but on the feed it's just the same 2 people posting, and not that frequently. There are the celebs on there though.. All in all seems like they're doing pretty well and also exaggerating usership in the way the poster above describes
