Being popular doesn't help to make a service sticky, but helps to get a lot of money. With Hictu, we realized months ago that people DON'T like video commenting neither video micro blogging, but we spent almost zero with one/two developers and it was a side project for us. Fortunately we don't have to justify in front of our investors how we are spending 12M and how we will use that money to improve a desktop client (one developer needed, two to add the iPhone version). Anyway, good luck to Loic. It is funny reading this post now… Being popular doesn't help to make a service sticky, but helps to get a lot of money.
