I think what most people tend to overlook is how great the name of the site is. It's funny, it's cynical, it's patronizing, but it sticks in the head. I just heared that name once maybe a year ago, and I might have heared of thousands of ot

I meant you don't need to make something people genuinely want, as it would solve a problem they have. You have to prove to the committee that you put in a decent amount of effort, but that's about it.
