I agree, most of the ideas listed either already exist in some shape, or have no market at all. One issue is not just identifying problems one has, but identifying problems a large group of people have AND that they're willing to pay money for the solution.

The secret behind a great idea is actually the hours of research that go with it. You need to research the market very thoroughly, your costs and such and then suddenly it's an idea that's viable. Of course then comes the execution. But a an idea is not just good because it sounds good.

I think this table is missing some important columns. Consider adding these: - market size (in $) - time and cost for acquiring a customer - margin per customer ($ range)
