But anyway, I think you are right about organic growth. And the system includes the people using it – particularly true for social networking or social bookmarking or, well social, sites.

MeAggregator is designed to be a personal tool. That is why there was initial focus on it being a desktop tool, rather than server based. Once you go server, it is easier for the institution to think about trying to claim ownership and then push its use, and thus kill it. By being able to run on its own, and connect on a peer to peer basis with others, even if an institution does get the wrong end of the stick, hopefully there will be enough subversives who want to run it their way that they can still get the social benefits as well as the desktop/independant benefits.
