Comment on Ask HN: Whats the worst startup idea you've heard, which turned out to be genius?parent

Comments

Came here to say roughly the same thing about Snapchat. I didn't expect it to rise very far above a niche sexting app, and I was surprised when I started seeing a lot of people using it for more innocent purposes.

The concept still doesn't appeal to me as much as a lot of people (though I still use it), but I was clearly wrong about its potential for mass appeal.
