Ethereum is building out a p2p messaging system called Whisper: https://github.com/ethereum/wiki/wiki/Whisper

This doesn't use the ether gas as payment, but a PoW to encrypt the message locally then sent.

Ethereum's data store will come from Swarm: https://github.com/ethersphere/swarm

With these two additional pieces it is trivial to build and conduct a social network on ethereum's blockchain.

It be awesome to get Daytum stylized info graphs on all my FB data! I am really excited for this acquisition!

Anyone else have ideas on what else they could be using Daytum for?

Build and ship code. Get feedback, build and ship code. Rinse and repeat until something sticks.

Any time spent reviewing your idea and building even a one page "Business Model Canvas" is time wasted. Most likely the idea you initially had will not be the one that ends up working out for yea.

I feel like this article is a list of best practices for pretending to be an entrepreneur.

I like this as an alternative, "You've got an idea for a startup, now what? JUST DO IT!"
