Congratulations. It is always inspiring to see successful product launches. To keep the press buzz going, consider directly pitching journalists that cover Android stories. Send them a three to five line email about your app and the growth

Good points. You are right I was just thinking about email. I will start thinking about other delivery options. People have different preferences, and by sticking to email only I would limit my userbase.

Exactly. Two examples for inspiration: Manpacks and Candy Japan (the owner is on HN). There is also a startup based out of Mountain View that delivers new games and puzzles for kids every month, but I cannot remember the name of it. http:/

While a lot of people talk about privacy or content relevancy issues, which I agree are important, there is a good thread on Reddit discussing why Facebook can be bad for your mental health. One user writes, "I started to compare my life to
