"...that I just dont find all that novel, or revolutionary..."
As an exercise, try to imagine how big it could get (and what it could morph into) with funding and 5+ years of hard work. Heroku started as a Rails IDE in a browser, by example.
Also, a lot of great companies didn't start with a revolutionary product/feature. They just did what they did REALLY REALLY WELL. Facebook, Amazon, Cisco, Zappos, Dropbox... All entered pretty crowded markets without an obvious differentiator (at first).
- staunch 15y ago> Heroku started as a Rails IDE in a browser, by example. From the day they launched publicly (like iCracked did today) they were doing the platform thing: http://techcrunch.com/2008/02/07/heroku-lifts-ruby-on-rails-development-to-the-cloud/ http://techcrunch.com/2008/02/07/heroku-lifts-ruby-on-rails-... Not arguing with your point, which I agree with, just pointing out a problem with that example.
