- andrewljohnson 18y agoYeah, it made it fun for the early adopters, and less fun for everyone else. That's not much of a strategy, considering how few early adopters there are.
- mseebach 18y agoYeah, fun for the million or so first users, not so much for the next 2 billion. I specifically remember hating those numbers (because I always forgot mine) and being spitefully relieved to switch to MSN Messenger when that came out.
