I think that rapid iteration requires a constant stream of creativity, so I'm not sure if the current state-of-the-art requires any *more* creativity from apps developers than 18 months ago per se. In fact, one might argue that the proliferation of social apps companies and public/free analytics actually *decreases* the creative demands on any one team -- it seems like some of the most successful viral app publishers these days spend as much (or more) time benchmarking their apps against each other and learning thru their competitors' experiments rather than coming up with their own novel ideas. @justin — thx for your comment.

Yee. It seems like consumer sentiment toward incentivised (or worse, forced) invites has become more negative in the 18 months since you originally posted this article. There is still plenty of opportunity for virality, but it seems like it requires more creativity. Do you have any new insight/tips on the subject? Thanks for the great post. Yee.

And then build the product around them? There's probably a middle ground between #1 and #2. When you can get a product to go "viral" though, that's a powerful way to get early adopters. “Build a product that delights some users.” And then build the product around them?
