Although that sounds really cool, are you really sure you're not the person this article is aimed at? How much do your users care about near-zero latency compared to, say, having more of their friends on the network?

(Of course, I don't presume to know your situation.)

Yeah, getting users is much more important. Fortunately, that part has already had two and half years development and a successful (especially, given the quality—it made Friendster feel fast) app, so that part of the business was well taken care of.

That's actually my favorite part about this particular company. Normally, it's a bunch of tech and business guys trying to "get traction". This business already had traction, and just needed a better app and infrastructure.

So I took four months and solved that problem for good. :)
