Re: Bad Startup Idea - Your next weekend project
#62I was too lazy to refresh, so I built a script and dumped 220 of the ideas in a pastebin. Sorted with duplicates removed. Very likely that some are missing. Would've probably been just as easy to try all combinations of left and right terms, but oh well. http://pastebin.com/rzEuz89f

#63All actually good startup ideas are bad ideas when they are started. Everybody thought twitter was retarded, and nobody had any idea social networking was even going to be a thing when facebook launched. If you only work on things that people agree seem like a good idea, you are probably the 5th team that is working on it, and you probably started about 3 years too late. This actually ends up giving many real success…
