“As a brand new product on the market, it is crucial that we build critical mass as quickly as possible. Being BBM-connected will help us do this because if one student with a BlackBerry starts using Wordbook there’s a very good chance he or she will suggest to friends that they get them too, so they can study together.”Philip Reynolds co-founder, SmartStudy
