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.

ah very good point.
that is the feedback i was hoping to get, to make me think a little differently. While I know the importance of niche advertising, when it comes to new projects, especially mainstream ones I often think way to big. If you can get in good with a particular niche and get them using the site you can at least get your base of real users and word of mouth cranking then add on new niches and grow the site. Perhaps the hurdle is so big for most people to get their site going because they are setting the bar to high.
