Although I think connections help more than not, I think it's more nuanced than that. You have to have a story, something to convince people that they need your app. It has to capture peoples imagination, and it needs to be simple enough that the average user doesn't need to do anything to consume it. And the market needs to be ready for it. Too early is just as bad as too late.
