What kind of feedback have you gotten?
Dennis: It’s a lot like the feedback Twitter got early on. I don’t know if that’s encouraging or just to be expected. People say, “I hate it, I would never use this.”
Naveen: Well, more like, “What’s this for? Why would I use this?”
Dennis: And then people come back to it. “OK I tried it, now I’m kind of hooked.” There’s definitely that same hater-to-hardcore-user cycle. So we want to encourage people to sign up and play around with it! And let us know what you think – a lot of the decisions that we make about what we’re going to build next come directly from the users. The more feedback that we get from people, the better.
