In other words, it's not enough to merely provide a nice platform and interface. You have to account for social factors as well. Few people will try something completely off their own bat - they need to be personally introduced to it. At heart, we are still apes and we learn by copying. Getting the visible endorsement of the group leaders is probably essential to getting group adoption. Think Scoble/TechCrunch and Twitter.
