(2006-11-21) Winer Simple Web App Needs

Dave Winer on the needs he sees for simple WebApp-s. A question you can't easily ask the Internet today. "Where can I buy firewood as a function of price and distance from where I am now?" I invested in ConFabb because it's that kind of no-nonsense obviously useful idea that the tech industry so often overlooks. Another one that I'd invest in, in an instant: An easy Accounting System for small business or home users... Another example of the relative information poverty we live in now. There's no easy way for me to get a list of all the local shopping malls and the stores within.
