&gt; But in a new social product, there is no social proof. The groups, if they exist at all, will be sparse and ill-defined. So with no social insights to be gained, what brings in the early adopters?<p>Or maybe they just want the cool new gadget and aren&#x27;t actually busy trying to signal things?
