The 100 million user rule seems to eliminate any developer focused products like YUI, YQL, and Pipes.

The 100 million user rule seems to eliminate any developer focused products like YUI, YQL, and Pipes.
- bryanlarsen 14y agoMaybe not if they allow indirect user counting. I'm sure that there are 100 million users that use websites that use YUI, for example.
- MatthewPhillips 14y agoI'm sure it does, but if I'm working on a new developer product how do I make the case that it's the next YUI? I think these sort of line-in-the-sand rules lead to people erring on the side of not doing anything.
- bryanlarsen 14y agoThose sorts of estimates are easy. You just go "total market size" * "my potential penetration as a percent". Yahoo would have the numbers available for the former, and you guess the latter.
