Where is your money?

Comments
It is widely agreed that the number one way to produce a successful web site is to provide compelling content.
Similarly, the number one way to produce a successful web application is to provide compelling tools for use.
Is this where your priorities are?
I don’t mean the priorities in your head. I mean are you continually investing in compelling content and tools. Not advertising, not graphic design, not marketing, not promotion.
Compelling content and tools. Is that where your money is?

Bokardo is a blog about interface design for social web sites and applications. I write about recommendation systems, identity, ratings, privacy, comments, profiles, tags, reputation, sharing, as well as the social psychology underlying our motivation to use (or not use) these things. If this sounds interesting to you, grab my RSS Feed. If you want to know more about me, check out my about page.
