A lot of positive coverage is even better, but only to a point. You want buzz, not deafening cacophony. You only get one chance with new users so you want your user base to build over time -- both from a scalability perspective AND and the UX side. I think I need to write a post about this :)</p><p>Thanks for the comment! </p>Christian AndersonFri, 10 Apr 2009 14:41:24 -0000http://www.mediadeluge.com/post/92705059#comment-8007607<p>That's a really interesting point, I know I had personally be getting a little overwhelmed with all the coverage, but I had always assumed that the all PR was great for them (assuming they can scale up to meet all the attention, technically).</p><p>As a fairly long-time user, I find a lot of value in it, but I have gotten to the point where I NEVER want to hear anyone talk about it anymore (proof: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/robby1066/3360754616/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.flickr.com/photos/robby1066/3360754616/">http://www.flickr.com/photo...</a> ). I can see media-saturation creating a not-living-up-to-the-hype scenario for people just being introduced to the idea of it. I wonder at what point does all of that start to negatively affect the existing user-base?</p>Robby MacdonellThu, 09 Apr 2009 11:35:37 -0000
