On: Photo-blogging Site DailyBooth Raises $1 Million

[seldo]

It seems as the market for content-creation expands, there is room for infinitely more products simply by taking the mid-point of any two existing products. e.g. Twitter, the mid-point of blogging and IRC. Tumblr, the mid-point of blogging and Twitter. And now DailyBooth, the mid-point of Twitter and Flickr (?). There's also 12seconds.tv, the mid-point of Twitter and YouTube, but I think that's a really stupid idea (Robo.to is also in that space).

So logically, the next product should be the mid-point of Twitter and email... oh, Google Wave.

A description of DailyBooth that I like is 4chan with completely different context.

So I wonder what other applications can be created from changing the context. Hacker News is reddit with a different context.

If I'm not mistaken, this is called "market segmentation", rather than "blue ocean" stuff, which is where you create an entirely new market.

Content is no longer king.

Content creation is the new king.
