This is a great way to look at it. It's not that startups not being more as useful to rural people is bad, per-se. It's just that it'd be nice if there were some alternative set of new, innovative businesses that are good for them.
Though, I'm not really sure what a business like that looks like.
- steveklabnik 9y agoYup, that’s the trick! I don’t know either.
- jonox 9y agoI think you somewhat hit on this when you mentioned Facebook and Twitter. It seems to me that any business that connects people in more rural areas with the masses is a potential winner (consider how rural areas grow quickly when they're connected directly by rail or an interstate). Maybe some sort of marketplace app or website that expands the reach of rural businesses; Etsy for the best mom and pop shops across the country?
