ok. So suppose one guy is working at Slide, and is about to gag on the python, or css, and is contemplating going to the fridge and getting yet another Seagrams Berry Blast Cooler, or go downstairs and around the corner check out that hot chick who works at Subway, or maybe just go sit in his car at the parking lot across the street and listen to Metallica Demagnetized, at full volume, or maybe DTP. And on the way down the stairs the thought occurs to him that Max will dump his girlfriend, and maybe he'll even start dating an Amish girl, for who knows, he might just lose all interest whatsoever in shoes and decide to walk in unannounced and pull the plug to "the server", and a billion people will lose their amazing flashy image shows on their myspace profiles.
And the other guy is hanging out in an even smaller office, working on the Vuvox project. And he starts considering the possibility that John won't sign off and bless the deal, the ebay thing isn't sealed. so they come to b4utweet.com and meet like strangers in the night. or something like that. I think there is some value in slagger-sales. People aren't there to buy your stuff, but they accidentally decide they might try it, because it had not occurred to them before. Sort of like sitting on a flight to Frankfurt and you're tired of watching the GPS coordinates animated on the front screens, and your ipod is depleted, and you don't read novels, and you've already looked up and down all the luftansa chicks more than once - so you start thumbing through the in- flight magazine and see some really cool pogo sticks from the guy who originally started sharper image, so you make a decision to take up pogo bouncing at the park. I think as long as you have a clear idea about what the user will get in the end, your project will be successful. But you know what, it could still be really good anyway, even if you don't know. So go for it.
