I completely agree with this, I think for us who are tech focused there’s an aversion to marketing, that somehow it makes our product lesser. But if you’ve just poured months of your life into a brilliant product which has value for people, you’re doing it a serious disservice not to get the word out.With the brick-and-mortar example, you can essentially buy yourself traffic by being on a busy street. I guess the same applies when you choose to launch inside an app store like environment, which provides discovery for your potential users. When you launch to ‘the internet’, it’s an awfully large place.Your thoughts also fit in nicely with Lance Wally’s recent post about building for a niche: http://lancewalley.wordpress.com/2010/02/23/niche/If you build for a nice where you are already part of the community, it makes that getting that first wave of users so much easier.
