First-Mover Advantage Is About Compound Interest, Not Market Share

First-mover advantage is about network effects, not compound interest.

so are network effects a little like compound interest on marketing?

First mover advantage doesn't mean much unless there is a strong network effect at play...

I think the argument is that the point of first mover advantage is customer development more so than the network effect.

compound interest on knowledge. heh. I like it. it seems like it would especially apply when you were using a new technology; something for which you couldn't just pay money to get people with more experience.
