> Now you fan out your description from "developers" to "creatives."
Same boat as far as I'm concerned. I made an inexact description of the market segment in my initial comment, but I'm talking about the same herd of people.
"freelancers, consultants & and small teams" - your website
They aren't Postmen or Choir directors. They are not 6 year old girls.
> Do creatives behave like early adopters? Is there evidence for that?
Sure, I think they do. They seem like people who watch for new things and try them out. They aren't usually late to the party.
> I think you're misinterpreting my tone, because I'm just pointing out that your comment was full of ungrounded conjecture. It doesn't bother me personally, since I have over 400,000 reasons not to worry what somebody on the internet says about Freckle as a business.
Well your tone seems to suggest that you think I was criticizing something.
Once again - the description of early adopter markets has NOTHING to do with you or your business. Its a description of the general nature of that market segment and noting how you have SUCCEEDED in that area.
"400,00 reasons" seems to be a reference to your stated yearly income.
I see no reason for you to take anything I have said whatsoever as adversarial or critical. My analysis of the market segment was quite the opposite. You have the wrong end of the horse. If you make that money in a limited market then you are doing quite well and that makes me happy because I nearly walked away from that market thinking it was too limited.
