It’s super hard to roast a business idea (atleast for me 😄) consider what people said on HN when dropbox was pitched and see where dropbox is now (dropbox example since I saw that on twitter other day)

that said, I would like add something useful:
consider moving to a further step and write down business plan for each ideas — how do we make money of this and what’s the strategy and start with one which you are leaning more towards.

there is also another approach— just pick one which can be shipped in a month or less and get it to the hands of potential customers. basically ship, launch and get feedback quickly

@basbasov I dont think either of these are necessarily "bad" ideas. I think I like #2 best. I'm just not entirely sure how you capture the market.

Do you have experience in either of these areas?

1) Sounds like a good idea to me. It is somewhat close to what JustDial was in India. JustDial was basically a directory of businesses and customers called JustDial asking for the contact details of lets say a Movers and Packers. Just Dial would then send your contact details to businesses on its platform and they would reach out to you explaining their offerings. Eventually though, a lot of JustDials business has been lost to startups like Urban Clap, who rather than being a directory of all types of businesses, focus more on few specific type of businesses such as home cleaning etc. and provide a much better quality of service. But both co exist.
