I'd argue that Twitter, Angry Birds, and Pinterest type startups solve the problem of a need for entertainment. The bored at work market is massive.

- keeptrying 14y agoThat might be true but do you think they knew that apriori? I dont think so ...
- sadlyNess 14y ago>solve the problem of a need for entertainment That's just skewing it to fit the post. More appropriate is robomartin's 'solved a problem, filled a need or fed an interest' tag.
- mbesto 14y agoOr let's say it this way - people have the problem of feeling unsatisfied or accomplished. This is a MASSIVE problem and can be solved in many different ways. That's why video games exist. It's also why people run marathons, triathlons, etc. They provide people a sense of accomplishment. For many people this is unattainable elsewhere (work and home, perhaps). I don't think boredom in and of itself is a problem.
