I personally know some of these so called party girls. The last thing on their minds when they're out doing what makes them party girls is emailing, cc'ing, social scores and ranking. These are women who have a hard time keeping the apps updated on their iPhones, or figuring out how to dial someone who txted them. I really doubt they're going to be enthusiastic about your app. Seems a bit too geeky for this demographic. Plus, cc'ing someone from your phone is a painful process for anyone - even the geeks. Think of how many clicks it takes to cc one person. Who's going to bother picking multiple people from an address book when they're drunk or having fun? I admire your talent, but you should probably use your knowledge of GAE for something a bit more relevant. Good luck, and I hope it takes off.
Thanks for this analysis! It makes sense. I believe one of the reasons to launch early is to observe how users actually use the product. Now I am thinking maybe I need more than a co-founder, or in addition to a co-founder, “brand ambassadors” or paid users who would try out the application. I may put an ad in Craigslist and see what happens there. Thanks again to everyone for great comments.
