As the saying goes where there's muck there's brass. I believe there is money to be made in niche markets where there is a need for software that solves boring problems effectively. The way I see things are going we're too tied up building the next "poke your friend in Facebook" app that we tend to forget that there are real problems being experienced by people/businesses that are begging for a solution. Not a knock against face book developers but it would be nice to use that kind of brain power to solve "mundane" problems. Wait first wasn't there a PG essay about this already? Shame on you!
