Well how many social networks do you need? How many cat photos and videos? How many i-fart applications? Humor is nice. Laughing is nice. How much do you need to laugh? 100% of your waking time?
How many real problems have we solved for every ifart application? Somehow I don't think that the numbers add up.
I think it was found that looking at cat picture increased motivation? Maybe we could start a gtd site based on sharing cat pictures?

The motivation to kill more cats? :P
I take issue with that last paragraph.
You know what? I want a social network for cats. You know why? Because that sounds awesome. Come on guys and gals, whatever happened to being human and having a sense of humor?
Let's solve the hard problems too! We don't ONLY have to do one or the other. Let people work on what they want to.
I think people's motivations are the more concerning thing about these kinds of things. Is the person building a social network for cats because he or she is a huge pet lover and wants to see something like that exist or just because he or she is trying to make a quick buck? If it's the former, then I'm completely fine with it. Let them try, and if it fails it fails.
