US users, or Global?
jasonlbaptiste: Profits = Revenue - CostsIf you can't make money there, and with the business you're probably in, the costs are significant when it comes to bandwidth, then you should not be there.We're also not talking about a gain lots of users and monetize later type of plan like Twitter.  There's no money to be made in these countries.  With the economy being the way it is, and being a startup, you can't run yourselves into a wall of knives.Also look at it from a competitive angle.  What would you think if your competitors went there just to be a bigger brand.  You'd probably think they made a bad move.  If dominating countries that are monetizable doesn't make you a big enough brand, dominating in countries that don't bring revenues surely won't.  It will probably make you go broke.
