[Freedombox-discuss] Interesting comments on distributed social networking

[Matte]

Exactly what do you mean by 'grow virally' it's all very well saying that
but on practise it's actually incredibly difficult to do deliberately with
any measure of success. I don't mean to appear rude but in my day job I
have to spec projects for marketeers and alarm bells start to ring if they
say they want to create something viral.
