Yeah, that was rude AND wrong. You have NO idea what the OPs goals are with this. It could be his first independent project ever just to get his feet wet. Ev

Yeah, that was rude AND wrong. You have NO idea what the OPs goals are with this. It could be his first independent project ever just to get his feet wet. Even if he DOES have great ambitions for it, you don't need to be terribly innovative to win. Build something that attacks a clear need, has clear competition, and comes at the market from a slightly different angle and you can oftentimes build a huge business just by executing well. Trello? Asana? Sprint.ly? All doing REALLY WELL. I know a couple of guys who built "twitter sentiment tools" recently. They launched into a crowded market of people doing the same thing. They're now nearly 30 people strong and are doing millions in revenue per year. In big and/or growing markets, there's nearly infinite opportunity.
