I found a rather strange index to rate the success-rate of future projects. (MentionedInConversation x InfectiousnessToOther)EnduranceOfIdea ( 1/TechAffinity) Meaning, if your aunt talks to your mum about it, and the general idea comes up once or twice a week and migrates on, even without mentioning the company - and your mum&aunt is not enthusiastic for just the technology, then its going to make it. Case: AirBnB - mentioned once or twice - misspronounced, then mentioned only as concept for three months - the idea stuck to rent out rooms to total strangers without big formalitys. Such buisness_idea_memes are easy to scale, propagate themselves in a way and the technology has basically some catalytic function to a allready existing small scale buisness concept that a person is allready familiar with but did not dare the risk previously. "I could make a small hostel.." One could imagine this for allmost anything.. Make a app for people who wish they where at partys and able the enjoy them and are even willing to pay for that, and connect them with party-animals lacking the money, willing to drag somebody shy along. Idea could run without your app, but your app propells it onwards. Voila!
