Make it feature-driven. When Facebook came out they didn't know photo sharing would be a definitive feature. When they put it out there they took a slug to the shoulder for not realizing it sooner and then implemented relevant features (like tagging). Similarly when Redis came out I doubt the creator realized everybody and their grandmother would use lists as a defacto message queue but now look at all the commands list has that facilitate just that. Key point is to accept and welcome that slug to the shoulder that pushes you in the right direction, to abuse the metaphor.
