I find it interesting that after speaking about the right idea, and the right team (and the right time), Catrina makes the comment 'It would have been easy for me to build another social networking site, or another photo-sharing site'.<p>Doesn't this ignore the team and idea. Just because she had success with Flickr, or maybe because Flickr was so successful, doesn't that lead one to believe there is less opportunity in this field? Same with social networking? Hunch was a good move because in addition to keeping her challenged, it isn't an area that already has a dominant player.

<i>the right location in Silicon Valley</i><p>Maybe in 2005-2007.<p>But not anymore.
