Personally 160 users sounds like a lot to me. None of the unfunded services I've bootstrapped had reached that.


Mind you, these aren't paying clients or anything, just a 160 twitter accounts. At the time you had to have it created FROM a mobile phone, so the onboarding process was clunky. We were showing it to our friends, tell them how cool it was. A team of 10, with 3 months to pressure their friends and family in to using the service, got 160 users.
