See, I think this comment is far more interesting than the article itself. I'm certain there is a method of finding high value-low effort startup ideas digging thru unconventional data like the link you provided.

I think it’s hard to find startup ideas by reading the tech press and HN. It’s easy if you just look around you as you go about your daily life, then research anything you don’t understand.

A few industries I’ve researched this way:

* Porta potties * Dumpster rental * Bail bonds * Funerals

There are millions of legitimate businesses out there that have hardly been touched by tech.

And what's hilarious is that the top comment in this thread is about starting yet another social network.

Myopic to say the least.

Sure, but if you're willing to do anything to make a buck, that isn't any less myopic.
