OK, so I have a big list (actually several since I keep losing and finding them) with many updates that have been suggested by users, friends, experts and myself. I want to do them all but at the same time, I have no idea which to do first. What I would like is to get a lot more users but on the other hand, I would like these new users to enter a way more complete Scoutle. It can be really confusing to decide what to do. Although time doesn’t cost me, it sure is annoying I can’t just go and buy some. Lacking money is one thing in a startup but I might even start to think that time is way more needed.

I found a quote from an innovation expert that, although he is very positive about Scoutle, makes me even more nervous.

Scoutle is now on the verge of crossing the chasm! Only one larger community that discovers Scoutle will be enough to have Scoutle enter the tornado alley and conquer the world. Scoutle really is a big timesaver in networking. Not only for the most innovative people, but also for pragmatic people who don’t know much about the internet. So let’s all think hard which community would fit this role and help Scoutle to become what it can be: world-famous! (Wouter Zeeman, June 2008)

How can I get this community to find Scoutle without advertisement or spamming my current users? Any suggestion of course, is very welcome. If you can address milions of horse lovers, thousands of poets, hundreds of gamers… or any other community that would like to connect and compare, let me or (maybe more timesaving) them know!!

I guess, in the mean time, I will just pick something to update and keep on doing so
