The first 100 foursquare users - the ones that really helped us shape the product - weren’t just computer nerds, they were blogging nerds and publishing nerds and art nerds and advertising nerds and fashion nerds and design/fashion/comedy/TV/ restaurant nerds. I honestly think this made a huge difference for us… not just in the original prototype, of course… but how we originally thought about what problems the product was destined to solve for people.
