absolutely, building an app that solves a problem is the only way to go. It is very important to face that thought and I am with you. But what I am talking more about how to approach adding the social features in an app. I'd love to get your take on how you think about integrating fb, twitter, google...
Highlight went all in with Facebook. Asana is betting on Google. Instagram and Path made a full network of their own. These apps will be tied with their integration choices most likely for the rest of their existence. It's a big deal.
but that is just it... if we are building apps that people love I really don’t care about viralilty or getting it off the ground as much. Our apps are engaging and viral because they are useful/simple/beautiful. I guess I am talking about building something for the long term.
More specifically, I am not that confident in using facebook connect. Any experience with fb integration? thoughts on user experiences? things you didn't expect?
