		<description>10 Users -&gt; [Invite all friends - Unknowingly Most of times]
         -&gt; 10*50 = 500 users [Invite]
         -&gt; 500*50 .... cycle goes on.. 

BUT ... 

Expansion rate in this case will be hardly more than 2-3%. 

Instead of stating that they have 3 million users they should tell their monthly page views. That would be a far greater insight. 

Plus I am very sure, nobody is coming back to them..</description>

		<description>the 3 Million number in itself doesn&#039;t mean anything . how many of these 3 million are return user ? how many navigate beyond first page . how many only hit the site when get a notification ( you&#039;ve been tagged in a photo ) etc etc .  
truth is they can cross 6 Million mark soon if they make it mandatory to register to read  Big B&#039;s blog . but that won&#039;t mean its working well . Real acid test is engagement , session timing , How many conversation a user starts  or  contribute . 
from what i know that sort of activity is very limited on Big Adda . But this is true that in Tier B towns Teenagers know only Orkut , BigAdda, IBIBO &amp; desimartini . But this is only because of TV commercials  I guess .</description>

		<description>Interesting thing about these services is that despite having a pretty big circle I have never found anyone who actually uses one of these services. I would love to meet a few real users and know what they think about it</description>
