More evidence that it's hard to fail when your business plan is built around catering to attention-whores and spammers. It's sort of the "invest in staple vices like beer, no matter what the economic climate" of the modern age.
Hi Pstack, oh right, I totally understand your view and you are right it is sometimes quite hard to differentiate between Apps that make your life easier and those that turn you into mindless bots.
We take every step possible not to cross that line with Buffer and a recent feature of "tweet now" hopefully puts us safely on the "make me more efficient" side of things instead of "make me a spammer".
What do you think about that? Would love to hear your views.

I mean no slight on your service whatsoever. My commentary was more with regard go what has become a truism of modern society. That being that you can't go wrong appealing to someone's ego. Whether that means helping them pimp their company or their personality. I suppose this is something that has always been a truism, but only in the last couple decades has it approached the point where it applies to nearly everyone with no entry barrier. From a grade school kid to a grandmother and from the soccer mom with a trinket to sell on the side to the serial start-up guru onto the next huge thing. If you can facilitate that, you're onto an almost sure thing. :)
Hey, good to find you on here. I've been impressed by the way you've managed to promote Buffer - you've certainly worked hard on it. It seems like you've also gotten good at writing promotional copy, especially since English isn't your native language.
Anyway, personally, whenever I hear a marketing 2.0-type person talk about "relationships" and "conversations", I feel like there's a bit of dishonesty going on. The truth is the marketer has something to sell, that's their real priority, and there's nothing wrong with that. But again, just my opinion. Would love to hear your views...

Isaac, good to see you here too.
Thanks for the kind words, yep I really try my best to spread the word about Buffer.
You are absolutely right I think, there is always a bad ring to it when you hear that. And I tried to state clearly that my intention of course is to drive traffic.
Yet, I also don't want to deny the fact that you meet a lot of great people and have great chats, which genuinely turn out to be helpful. Maybe it really comes down to what you do about each and every situation. If you take the human element as serious as the traffic building part, it is a good combination. Not sure what you think about that, let me know :)
