I agree 100%. This is the same that I always hear from James Brausch. Don’t wait until a product is perfect before you release it.

1. Regardless of normal users reading blogs or not word spreads on the internet, there are also other media than blogs … and it’s not unusual for other media to take to the blogs for inspiration especially when it comes to IT

2. In the crowded markets the things you do better or the things that no one else has set you apart from the competition – that and hordes of zombie fanboy self proclaimed evanghelists (usually early adopters)

1. Normal users don’t read blogs of early adopters and you know that. So them complaining has no effect on the product (unless Michael Arrington is trashing your product and you are screwed).

2. Early adopters cannot complain about things that don’t exist. They can make suggestions about features they want. That’s why is important to release a functional product for the masses and delay advance features. Or you can make advance features optional and clear label them as experiments. This way nobody can complain about them not being 100% functional. And if someone complains it will be somehow pointless.

But if your early adopters complain, publicly, how will that affect the confidence of the normal users in your product?
