The best startups are those that show their data in a way that feeds into some psychological need, or become immensely useful as more and more people use it. Anyone can also create a text box where you can type in 140 word status messages, but noone would use it... but once you design it so that it looks like a feed that makes you look like a Wall Street stock trader WHIZ, everyone loves it. Anyone can create a Facebook, but it's worthless until you got millions of users. Same with Quora. Anyone can build a Q&A, but noone would answer any questions if there ain't people to impress with your knowledge.
