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.

that really is an interesting angle to this that i've often pondered when i look at the success those site have and try to mimic that in my bootstrapping start-ups, which i love to do. it's hard to think big yet focus on a niche but these sites did that.
