Ahh yes the Real-Problems(TM) paradox and moral high ground.
I take issue with that last paragraph.
You know what? I want a social network for cats. You know why? Because that sounds awesome. Come on guys and gals, whatever happened to being human and having a sense of humor?
Let's solve the hard problems too! We don't ONLY have to do one or the other. Let people work on what they want to.
I think people's motivations are the more concerning thing about these kinds of things. Is the person building a social network for cats because he or she is a huge pet lover and wants to see something like that exist or just because he or she is trying to make a quick buck? If it's the former, then I'm completely fine with it. Let them try, and if it fails it fails.
Well how many social networks do you need? How many cat photos and videos? How many i-fart applications? Humor is nice. Laughing is nice. How much do you need to laugh? 100% of your waking time?
How many real problems have we solved for every ifart application? Somehow I don't think that the numbers add up.
