Yeah same here.

It's amazing how many reposes pg's post generated.

First off thank you for writing the article. It doesn't seem to me that Facebook or Google saw a huge market inflection and decided to create a company in the hopes if hitting it at the write time. To me it seems they were doing something PG mentioned which is building something they themselves wanted regardless of the market potential. It just so happens that by doing this they built something that a lot of other people also wanted and were able to execute it in such a way. Sometimes I feel "looking for an idea" is the wrong approach but instead viewing the world from behind a critical lens we will see problems that need to be solved. By solving them we feel our lives will be better and maybe that is enough to begin with and by solving these types of problems, once in a while we may just discover that others feel the same way.

funny i was just browsing for a new RSS reader.

Do you know of a list of companies that participated in Joystick Labs?

I had this idea when I received emails with attachments on my phone and wanted to save them. Let me know your thoughts and if you think it could be monetized.

Hit me up I am always open to working on projects.

did you ever find something that was satisfactory?

True true, maybe something like Zaarly or Task Rabbit would be true here?

what kind of tasks/jobs are you talking about? construction type jobs or software ...?
