#2If your startup works than it's good no matter what. I still consider Twitter stupid, but what do I know. Tons of people think Farmville is stupid, but Zynga is doing extremely well.
It might not help that you think your own idea is stupid, though.

#4If it makes money, then it is smart! If you think you have a money maker, then go for it. You can always iterate as you move forward.

I am not a Twittery type of person either, I would rather have people tweet about me and what I am doing than do it myself. Although a lot of people do find it fun and fascinating.
If what you have in mind for your startup solves a problem for people, that seems like something that may be on the right track to make some good money.
