Hint: if you are starting a social network, let people sign up as soon as you go public. The number of users you have is what will make or break you. Denying immediate entry is turning away your customers, most likely for good.
- ebzlo 12y agoNot necessarily, Facebook started in the MySpace-era and was restricted. Sometimes exclusivity can be a perk.
- toyg 12y agoFor Facebook, exclusivity was a feature because it was directly related to craved social status (belonging to an elite university). For GMail, exclusivity worked because it was directly related to craved features (large capacity for email attachments). I don't see "lack of ads" as particularly craved by users. My wife actively wants to see ads (to the suffering of my credit card). Unless they find something else to latch on to, this will end up being yet another also-ran social.
