Kicking myself for being slow and broke

Why spend all that time getting ideas out? I was just checking the top iPhone apps on TIME and saw that my idea for a near location based app was the number 2 app on itunes. Kicking myself repeatedly for not doing it sooner. I didn't know enough about iphone apps to create one at the time, but developed the idea on www.swiftmap.com. It's got more legs than the site currently shows so if I win the lottery it might just get made.

Currently I am working on two additional iPhone concepts, one is a light social networking app around summershares, an popular way of sharing summer houses for those not familiar with the term, the other is a music app with what I belive is huge potential. The sumrshr.com idea is not to create a massive new social network, but to make all the tasks of running and participating in summer and wintershares fun and easy. As always I try to develop the concept online first, developing online is fast and cheap and it help trouble shoot concepts, and I believe it's good to have a web based destination to supplement the iPhone apps.
