<i>A lack of competitors is almost always a bad thing because it means the market you entered doesn't interest anybody else.</i><p>Completely disagree with this. There are plenty of successful startups that created a whole new niche that didn't even exist before they got into it. If anything, the lack of competition (and a high barrier of entry) were significant reasons for their success.
Wait a second, who the hell does this site think it is? I thought this was a pretty good article and all, but then I started reading the one they linked to at the top - the one whose success prompted this article - and in the comments, I started recognizing little bits of text. They stole content from their commenters! WTF!
