"and can stand up to a million users isn't worth anything until somebody finds it useful."

Often times it takes a team and not an individual to build something somebody wants. The complexity lies in its functionality and it does not have to do everything for everybody.

If I am not mistaken you are referring to scaling production and marketing and possibly premature diversification while I am referring to scaling development to meet the needs of that initial customer base.

Agreed, then. But I don't think Godin's talking about what you're talking about. He's a marketer: his point is about trying to get a million customers before you've built something that one customer will use.
