Want to build a site/app with mass market appeal?
Make something that captures a meaningful signal.
For inspiration, here are some existing popular and meaningful signals:
- The Query (what I want)
- The Social Graph (who I am and who I know)
- The Status Update (what I’m doing)
- The Check-in (where I am)
And some startups emerging with new valuable signals: Quora, Square, Instagram.
To quote John Battelle:
“I’m on the lookout for new Signals. I’m quite certain we’re not nearly finished creating them.”
