I do not think it is unique to duplicate the success of scrabulous. Some of the pointers discussed deal with basic no-frills customer service. Listen to what the user wants and build the demand from there, pretty simple. They are also on the ball at answering any queries any user may have. Sure its a great business model, a totally viral application that requires you to share and come back to interact with the application, this is the core and essence of social networking. but the question that needs to be asked is whether it will have traction in the longer term?
