Great story. How many users sign up when you had the website put up? Also, were the users still helpful when they realized you don't have the app yet?

I would say it is for acquiring their customer base. In fact, customer base is probably the biggest factor in a lot of acquisitions. Like you, i have no idea about cloudkick, and this might or might not have been the reason for the acquisi

If you are at a restaurant that just opened, you would find that they are extra nice to you. I would expect a startup to do the same, be extra nice to your early customers. I disagree that faking, or lying is the answer.

I agree with you. The only times i have wanted to downvote was to mark some comment as spam and/or troll. Given that we have a 'flag' link on comments, i don't see a need for downvote, except to undo a upvote.
