Very good question. A short wait may not actually a bad thing as long as it is not too long. I remember last winter the fact that there was a waiting list for joining GAB seemed to push demand up - sometimes it creates greater demand - as long as it is not too long.

Good point. I could see that. I just know that when I have tried to sign up for something and there is some kind of delay, I often lose interest and completely forget about it...
It is a tricky balance and could go in either direction. That is why they will be working on automating it and speeding it up.
Yep I agree. It probably is the better option right now between the two. Hopefully it can be automated soon! :)

I was thinking the same thing... the most extreme example was when GMAIL first came out, as old as that is - back then it was impossible to get an invite, so everybody wanted one!
on the other hand - exclusivity only works when the product is in enough demand. it's a very gentle balance...
I remember that with GMAIL! Yes I think you are right.
Exactly :)
