When would exponential growth of readership occur? In a phase when Web
readership was growing exponentially (in the past now, it seems, and I
do know what the term means); when the application is sufficiently new
and different to distract people from what they were already doing
online. "Critical mass" strikes me as a misplaced metaphor, really.
Though it would do fine for social networking sites.
