RE: WE CANNOT GO UNNOTICED The fundamental problem I have with numbers of users is - how many of those actually use it regularly?
I am one of those 107 million users - I tried the product and while it's neat I personally can't see that this is going to get regular use from more than a tiny fraction of that number of users on an on-going basis. How many of your friends or family don't speak the same language as you? Facebook is all about connecting you to to people you want to be in touch with all the time, every day. I can't see this being true for people for whom I do not share a language.
To be honest, I see this as having more financial success as a busines niche product than a social media product. Very cool condept, but wrong market at the wrong time in my opinion. I'd love to be wrong about this, but my gut wasn't having any part of an investment. I'll be watching with keen interest from the sidelines.
Good luck on this one.
