The problem is that everyone who's ever used the web ever comes up with these ideas and either thinks it hasn't been done or think they can do it better. The latter almost always end up just cloning something that exists in a way that's shitty. No, it's not sub-par, they're not terribly execute, they're fucking shitty. I'm just finishing up a site that the guy who commissioned it calls "Facebook except for dating". I'm embarrassed to even admit I built it now (I really needed the cash and in hindsight I was paid peanuts). Luckily I was able to steer him towards positioning it as more of a sideshow site for entertainment like Lolcats or something. But anyway, the problem isn't the ideas it's just that it's incredibly rare that someone executes in a way that brings something worthwhile to the table that hasn't been done at least 100 times over.
