Great post Razvan! I myself am heavily experimenting with twitter and so far I’m pretty happy with it. Beyond the fact that it’s extremely fun and addictive, I find it to be a great tool for exposing and marketing your content. Will follow-up with a post of my own on twitter in the next few days.

So, see above, I guess this post is about me. So, as one, I think my comment is relative. This is a fun job, all day I run through pages and pages of peoples outlooks on comics, technical application, home life, amatuer sports, literature, music and even sometimes film. This doesn’t hurt the forums at all and even helps em out. Every day I get a massive input of peoples opinions and I get to put in my 2 cents. To me, this is important. When people are discussing online, they seem to have more passion than they would when you are at a party, or at work and you can dedicate more thought to it. I throughly enjoy the readings I get day to day and appreciate the fact that I can comment on stuff I find important in my life. Also, as a “spam blogger” my name is constantly changing. My anonymity is kept sacred. I find this especially appealing because though I want to share my opinions with the world and get its feedback, I myself do not want to dictate my thoughts on my own blog. And to note, I do not flame, curse or abuse the anonymous route. Its a matter of ethics and standards. Thanks for your time.

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?

Comment on Startup mistakes: Not emailing your users by Razvan Antonescu

I usually recommend to my clients to use as login email addresses instead of IDs. This way you prevent users forgetting their IDs and you can communicate with them.

Hey,

Spam can be easily identified by servers now a days. just provide a text box and a image contains letters. Spam can only read text but not the images, so get use of it, and ask users to type the text in the image.. Anyway spam is not going to type the text correctly…………..

cooooooooool good idea right
