2. There was stuff already happening.
3. Most of my friends weren't there, but some were. (Notably Ross Mayfield, who was pushing hard for people to join.)

1. Before you roll out a community-based product, use it yourself to inform a modest community of users. Hopefully a small one, that loves you and the product, so they'll keep coming back even if they don't get what it does. Until you gain traction at that level, don't go any further.
2. Something is happening (see step 1), make sure every new user sees it. Every step before seeing the action is a chance for them not to get it, so get them there right away.
3. Their friends probably aren't there. Fact of life, nothing to be done about that.
