On one hand, you have a new world economy that takes a lot for granted and wants every service to be as free as google’s services.

On the other hand, you have the increased demand for services that will out-perform competitors and this requires a lot of $$ spent in development (and continued development).

How a service balances these two essential aspects determines a lot of their success.

Perhaps they could ask for feedback. Ah, but that would mean doing something, I guess. I am not being cynical. There should be a natural loop of development, evaluation, implementation, evaluation, implementation (or call it further development if you wish), etc. In our church, we call it “growing people change.”

If you want to attract new users, get better. You get better by finding out what annoys people with what they already are doing with what you have given them, asking them how they think you could do something better with the wonderful thing you have given them, or asking them what you have given them doesn’t do that they think it should. People are rarely satisfied for very long with what you give them. It’s a shame, but true.
