The problem with active/young people market is they are very temperamental to ads, if you don't treat your user base like the tumblr founders have, they would have easily changed to another platform with less ads.

There's bots in JabbR too

That and I'm not spending 60$ for Google Docs access.

Hell yes!

Im only 20 and if I can program/code/solve problems for the rest of my life, I know i'll be content until I die.
