What they did
Stay active on social media to keep a constant relationship with users, who ask for new things daily. Fix small issues immediately. When a user asks for a feature in a tweet, build it within an hour or two; the requester talks about it and becomes an advocate. Also uses every product himself so he spots issues first.
