If you haven’t figured out the ecosystem, growth is useless – whether it is a acquisition-only viral loop, like Tagged, or an advertising blitz like countless dot-bombs. This isn’t helpful either, as countless companies have shown. Let’s consider one last example, a sticky-growth company like eBay or World of Warcraft.

Most people are going to hear about the site for the very first time via an organic notification, when a friend signs up for the site (or tags them in a photo, etc). For example, consider a site like Facebook in its early days. No positioning exists yet in the mind of the prospect. Take a look and let me know what you think.

If youre emitting HTML, as 99% of all PHP apps are, its just so damn convenient to throw in PHP tags along with your layout tags, all inline on the page. PHP encourages one of the worst programming heresies of all: intermixing code and presentation logic in a giant mish-mash. In most cases, simple changes are simple to make.

Clueless about the chess game being played in Washington, I was just a minion in a corporate halfway house in between my military career and entrepreneurship. After what I assume were a few phone calls back to Washington, the rules said they couldn’t destroy my notebook, but they couldn’t keep it at the site either.

We change the code to have all of the queries identified in step 3 tagged with the apporpriate entity URL that they affect.

News stories get archived, shared and remembered for long, so the impact on sales by being featured in a TV segment is much higher than being featured in advertisements during commercial breaks. Tag journalists to posts that would interest them. Don’t just tag anything you come across; that would annoy everyone.

But its exponentially more engaging to have each person tag their friends in each picture, because the notification is so much more interesting: "youve been tagged in a photo, click to find out which one!" Those customers get prompted to tag their friends in their photos. Positioning ( the battle for your mind ).

It is a mystery actually whether the tagging of application as hot/popular has to do with the number of downloads or merely from the usage statistic. If the rating in the App Store is based on usage, I am sure those popular social networking applications are sure to be in the top and the hot seat always. However, this is not the case.
