In relation to your experience on this product, what do you feel keeps an app from becoming that "next big thing"? You mentioned the initial offering being so good that extra "packs" weren't generally desired. Do you think that if this weren't the case that it was the only thing holding the app back from becoming an underground hit? How did the marketing of the app factor into this? Do you feel better or worse about apps that take an idea (in this case, instant messaging) and improve upon it, or do you see users as being more apt to reward complete innovation?
