You don't even need to re-create and out-do something like Facebook did to Myspace. You just need to make something super fucking trendy that will explode with popularity and sell it as its peaking within 2 years. Even if that trendy thing is a direct copy of something existing (flappy bird has been done 1000x etc). They key is to make it trendy so every 12-16 year old kid wants it. I swear you could make an app with jingling shiney keys and somehow get 100 million downloads.
Tinder is absolutely genius and such a ridiculously simple concept. It just plays on teenagers social awkwardness and sex drive in the simplest way. Their slogan could be "With this app, you can get laid without ever having to actually talk to someone, and worst case, you can look at pics of hotties in your area."
Snapchat. Instead of sending a text message, you can send a one time short video that (is supposed to) can't be saved. "Chicks will sext you" |
