web 2.0 - should you ignore your first 25,000 users?

There are a few new blog posts out there this morning that resonated with me. Good food for thought for anyone already in, or getting into the “web 2.0 game”. There are a number of good questions/discussion points nested in these posts and related comments. I won’t repeat what’s been said - just take 5 minutes and follow the links below.

  1. How many users/subscribers does it take to make you relevant?
  2. Do you really understand your traffic? Do you know what that means?
  3. Should you listen to your early adopters?
