Something that most entrepreneurs overlook...
There are a lot of websites/online businesses that get acquired and then get shut down. Some get shut down because they're burning through money too quickly, other's get shut down because the acquiring company may just want the technology, or they dump it because they realize it doesn't fit their overall company mission.
So what happens when they're shut down? This is your opportunity to start a similar site if there is enough demand for it.
Here is just a quick example of what I'm referring to:
DocStoc.com (not sure how many of you remember this site) had developed license123.com to help people quickly buy licenses they may need to file.
http://techcrunch.com/2012/03/08/docstoc-launches-license123/
Intuit acquired docstoc and both those websites have been shut down. I thought License123 was a great idea although reading the reviews, it seemed the may have been lacking in the quality of their deliverable. However, I think there is still an opportunity there for someone to restart this project, or other similar projects that have been shut down for whatever reason.
