If you had built and tried, you might have made it. :-) The good thing about the internet is that it's an important leveller that provides small countries like Singapore the chance to compete. Of course, you're feeling stupid like me for not building Facebook when you had a project proposal in 2004? But it's not a big deal. In fact, it's a good thing. It proves that you are able to come up with good ideas. Next time, you just have to be faster. :-P While retrospectively thinking, there is no way that anything we built could have had the success that Facebook did (I mean, a network that has Harvard, then Stanford and MIT students in it, is an instant attraction by itself without any additional features), but “IF ONLY IT WERE ME“!
