29. Easy site builders for specific markets. Weebly is a good, general-purpose site builder. But there are a lot of markets that could use more specialized tools. What's the best way to make a web site if you're a real estate agent, or a restaurant, or a lawyer? There still don't seem to be canonical answers.
Along these lines I think there is a massive success for whoever comes up with a Tumblr-esqe site optimized for sharing recipes, crafting, and other "homey" activities. A few weeks ago I had 3 separate friends/coworkers coming to me for advice on which blog platform to use for a recipe site. Nothing really works great for this application and there seems to be a real desire for it. I'm sure there are dozens of other "verticals" like this that could grow to significant size. e.g. I could see a similar use case for guys who restore old cars. Go to an amateur car show and every guy will have a scrapbook showing off the restoration process. There is a lot of creativity that Tumblr isn't suited for or targeted at.
