    Good models to look at for making money from sites are dating sites.

    Most give you the basic functionality for free so you can search for people who you think would match you.
    Some, at this point, then charge you to get in touch with these people.
    Others continue to offer a completely free service but little 'perk' features like being able to see if the person you've sent a message to has actually read that message.

    The thing is, these sites are utter pish! pish design, pish usability yet they are generating a LOT of money for the creators.
    Take a look at how pish Zoosk and Oasis are. SERIOUSLY bad yet they've got budget to advertise on prime-time tv.

    Back to the topic of Startup Ideas though, I had an idea a couple of years ago that I thought was genius but was put on the back-burner because I (and others) left the company we were at and started our own thing so been concentrating on that.
    But recently we've revisited the idea, analysed it and are battering on with it with the view to launch in the next couple of months :)
