Faves for this Web page
In the last several years we’ve seen the rise and fall of many social web applications. While most of our attention gets paid to the hugely successful ones like YouTube and Facebook, we can also learn a lot from those that have failed.

Seems like an obvious thing.
Quoted: Think of the most successful social sites out there. They usually focus on a single thing. YouTube (video), Netflix (movies), eBay (auctions), MySpace (friends), Flickr (photos), Del.icio.us (bookmarks) and most of the social features on those sites are aimed at making that one activity better.

Awesome. I recognize problem #1 and #3. It's not about addressable markets. I still think that is BS and fails more often than it works. It's about building something useful for someone you know.
