Hi Matthew:

Thank you for writing on us! (Funny you should mention High Fidelity. It was a mandatory watch while we were in development.)

We're very keen to see Mixx Maker gain traction as things go forward. I hope you enjoyed it!

Kind regards,

It's safe to say that my entire team is flattered by your post. (To stand out amongst the crowd is always an honour!)

Forgive me if I'm off mark, but while I recognize that massive exposure may not be worth the same on Facebook as it had in the past, I believe a dedicated user base still holds its weight. Zombies came, but how long do you think it will last?

Although an application may have a bajillion installs, it means little to a company purchasing an application if they don't come back to it.

Yes, market saturation devalues the worth of the product. Economics states higher supply equals lower price point.

However, if people are engaging in something time and time again, in context of Facebook, it becomes a different product. It's like the difference between a Ferrari and a Ford. They're both cars. There are tons of them. But you know your mileage will be better with the Ferrari. (In a sense.)

Applications with dedicated users are like stores with dedicated customers. People keep coming back, you keep making income. People come once, ride the fad wave, disappear forever, and you're no longer sustainable. (For another example, have a look at the club scene.)

With that, our focus has always been on creating an engaging application that will grow with the end user. We really hope you like it, and we'd love to hear your feedback!

Kind regards,
