Actually, you also have to consider that from that interview on POF, as well as the actual back story to MySpace, that most of the sites started out as a NICHE. MySpace was for bands when it started, and grew from there. FaceBook was for ONLY college students, POF was for ONLY Canadians.
THEN they grew.
The point being, if you have a good idea in a smaller targeted niche, it will take off it's self and spread to become something bigger. If your idea is shit, it will be flushed.
