Comment on Ask HN: Beaten to the punch by a competitor, advice?

Comments

there are millions of people in this country. Even now when I tell people about craigslist they ask what is that? There is always place to compete.

I mean look at eBay, they are in world known, but their user base is only 144 million people world wide. Sure it sounds huge, but in reality its just a tiny portion.

As long as there is no first comer advantage(i.e. how eBay pretty much has a monopoly on auctions), you can launch a decade later, and still manage to get up on top(i.e. Google)
