I read this article about 3 years ago. I found it again today while googling around or something of the sorts. Hacker News wasn't around the first time I found the article, so I was curious to see the HN comments around the article, hence the submission. Some of my notes: * These ideas aren't destined to fail. Look at chegg. * Just because it's been done before, doesn't mean you can't. ie- busted tees. This goes back to our is there room for another photo sharing site discussion from last week. Here's why I don't particularly agee with the article, despite Ramit being a badass: *It focuses on the business types MORE than it focuses on why they won't work. It doesn't focus on things like: uniqueness, execution, design, segmenting growth at first to niches,etc.
