Lol... my son showed me this the other day. We often talk about market validation on this forum, and here is a great example of why you should do just that.
This guy invented (and I use that term very loosely) an email "machine" back in the mid 90's that he thought was going to revolutionize the way people used emails and messaging.... lol.
Mind you - he tried to launch this idea AFTER email was already commonplace! The guy does have plenty of entrepreneurial drive and passion, gotta give him that. But boy did he spend waaaay too much time and money on something which - to everyone else was just a terrible, terrible idea. Oh and, could he have picked a worse name for the thing?
Be prepared to facepalm..
