The phone numbers are a particularly interesting idea, but how did you intend/did you get in touch with all the people after launch? Did you and a few others manually sit around and call 20,000 people?

Every person who uses your service is important, if you can call them personally, great. if you have to email so you can have some hours to sleep then do that. i didn't call but suggested that would be a fun idea to try.

after launch vip emails were sent and then emails were sent to different buckets of people.
