Luckily I didn’t start this challenge completely from scratch or it could take 14 days just to come up with a good idea. I’m going to keep it under wraps for another day while I finish work on the business plan. I know I said this wasn’t going to be set up a business but I think a business plan will be useful for two reasons:

1. It will help me focus the project by forcing me to write down everything I want to do and how I want it to operate before I start coding.
2. If this does take of like crazy I don’t what to be stuck with a dotcom that burns cash then dies a sad death. To prevent that I’d like to have options to monetize it written down.
