I'm watching 'The pursuit of happyness'when I need inspiration. Really love it. 'The internship'is another one that can inspire me. But most of all I'm inspired when I get some success with my project

Unfortunately $9M from my dream can't help me:) but yes, in real life it might be a great opportunity to start next startup.

It's not a problem for such big guys as Google or Facebook to create clons of lots of startups. But they usually buy them. Probably because they find them promising or competitory. I guess they are intending to monopolize the market

My main competitors are Facebook events and MeetUp. But as I said Google has bought my startup in a dream:)

I understand you pretty well because I'm in the same situation now. So what I've done? I've created something like a prototype using Prottapp (design was made by my wife in Adobe Illustrator). Another tool for this is Balsamiq. After this I'm going to create a crowdfunding campaign for further developing as I don't have enough money for it. May be you can try to do the same

Chrome
Google drive (a lot of stuff was done in it)
Google keep (really, I've deleted evernote as I like simple in use tools)
Pocket (not to forget a lot of helpful links)
Gmail
Buzzsumo (great tool but I've learned about lately. All stuff was done before)
Webflow (to create landing page)
Adobe Illustrator (to make all design)
It seems that my list is too short. But I think that you have to concentrate on your startup idea and not the searching of 'right' tools. If you really need them you can read here: http://www.quora.com/Startup-Founders-and-Entrepreneurs/What...
