Most post mortems like these totally miss the point. The reason you failed is because not enough people want your product. It doesn't matter where you're located, who's on the team, how AJAXy your product is and so forth if nobody wants to use it. Your user database and server logs don't lie. |

Never got to test that theory out, because even if enough people wanted the product, the business model around it is something which we haven't been able to figure out. We have the product's version 2.0 sitting ready (substantial updates from whats visible in ver1.0 demos) but we do not see a clear exit yet, so are hesitant to launch it. Being blogged about major tech blogs (from Lifehacker, Mashable, etc), some folks loving it around the world and writing reviews in ~ dozen languages - we already got that love. If we stayed out in the market more - we'd probably get more 'love'. But 'love' can only keep the servers humming for so long :)
