Counting keeps you alive
22 April, 2005In pitch meetings this week, I’ve twice used Skype and Salesforce as examples of great websites. Neither explains their technology on their home page. Both focus on (1) benefits of their product (2) ease of use and (3) user numbers.
I’d always thought these sites highlight user numbers to look busy. As the chippie yelling “keep the queue” knew, if you look busy, people want it.
Talking about Gmail’s ever increasing storage, Seth Godin points out another reason. Things that change are more interesting than those that don’t.
