Reduce the friction for people to try it out. It looks like it could be interesting, but the account creation - in particular asking for my email - to do anything is enough friction that I would rather just close the window and never revisit.

A lot of sites create "buzz" with an invite-only period. That got me wondering if there's a way you could limit enrollments to groups of people -- maybe a minimum of four? -- and have them all choose a common start time for when their accounts will first go live.

Then send out the invitations at the same time, so they all log on at the same time, so there's conversations and interaction for everybody from the get-go...

In terms of 'onboarding' or 'going-to-market', this approach was something I had considered. However, the hassle along some of my prior experiences in similar user workflows did deter me from following through.

If putting in an email to be able to post on a website is too much friction for you I dunno what to tell you.
