#4My startup was in the same incubator space as Kik up until 3 weeks ago (we just moved out,) and it's really amazing to see these guys finally take off. They have some amazing stuff in the pipeline that's going to blow everyone away.
Funny thing is, they are literally across the hall from Enflick, which is another IM startup that's wildly successful.

Do you know what was their marketing plan to launch Kik?

#8A name is really important for a startup to take off.
Kik.com kicks ass, instead of 'socialmsgr.im'
My only advice to entrepreneurs is: pick a great name.
Delivering a great product is just mandatory.

I would suspect that as well or by counting relationships instead of actual accounts. Let's ask them: http://www.kik.com/blog/2010/11/zero-to-a-million-in-15-days...

I dont think so, my facebook feed is currently assaulted by friends asking and sharing their KIK ID (and none of them is a geek or an early adopter usually)
