No. I dont care if there is 850 Million or 1 Billion using it, what counts is how much money are those people spending on facebook.
Pity one can't pay using paypal.
7 years ago,who would have though that tell your friends ''Whats on your mind''So who know maybe dude is on to something.
One of the key ingriedients to virality for sites, is Anonymity. If you can incorporate that element into the site ,your chances of going viral will increase drastically. If things stay the way they are than you going to have to do things the old fashion way ie beat the chicken egg problem ,gain users over a long period of time and let the network effect kick in.
What i never understood over the years was, why Ritalin was given to kids with ADD and ADHD.All though those two disorders are related,they do not have the same effect on a person.
People with ADD tend to be tooo calm and appear to be slow ,on the other hand those with ADHD (including me) tend to be too Hyper , our minds are at full speed all the time which affects concerntrating on things we do not enjoy.I found out that Ritalin works well for me by relaxing the pace of my thoughts ,which in turn allows me to focus on a BORING thing like a volumous book.
So now how can you give a person with ADD (Slow thoughts) a drug that will make them more slow and expect results.
My conclusion is that Ritalin works better for people who have ADHD then those with ADD,and the reason why results on the improvement that Ritalin has ,have varied time and again is because a drug that work for one group (ADHD) was also given to those (ADD) it does not work for.In such a situation results will never be consistant.
