How do they plan to take on modern social media networks with their massive network effects? This is like a corner shop claiming that they will be Amazon's replacement.

In my opinion, it's a nearly impossible feat, but possible. I think the only way to get it to work is to generate an organic base that loves it and shares it in that same ilk. It had to get started somewhere and we got there. Our first concern was, once people got on would they like it? The answer thus far was yes, our percentage of daily actives was nearly triple what we thought, given no critical mass. The next question is, getting more people on. It's been growing well enough organically the last 24hrs but this very question is really one I don't know if there's an answer to yet, and maybe we're going to answer it here.

It’s gonna be hard. Everyone has to start somewhere though. It looks a lot cleaner and polished than a lot of social media’s that I’ve seen pop up.
