What am I missing? I'm not really seeing a difference between Mailbox/Tempo's scarcity vs. that of Facebook. How is the technical limitation of "load testing" any different than Zuck telling people he wanted to maintain a certain level of service? Isn't the message "this tool is only for Harvard kids" just as snooty and likely a turnoff to potential users?
