Too Long; Didn't Read
You know my fetish — I happen to believe that mobile app installations are a very good (and open to public) metric to judge the popularity of a service by. Yes, I am the idiot who actually wasted my time calling Jive Software and Tibbr bullshit, when a tech publication would run a story, how they signed up another 1.5 million users, while their Android app installs were at around 10,000. I would actually try to explain to journos that ‘selling’ large contract to a company CEO or CIO isn’t important — usage was. Anyway, I am older and smarter now. I still watch app install stats, but I no longer try to persuade journalists to do the same.
