Hi, I"m the author of the blog post.

I definitely think there are too many people these days chasing the sexy trends. What they fail to realize is that by the time something is sexy, it's often too late to catch up. Take Groupon and all the clones out there.

Solving a real problem is definitely the way to go. cheers!



Agree. My gut says that some founders may look at sexy as a way to shortcut the hard work of marketing and being remarkable, probably not an explicit choice, but I can definitely see how one might lean towards trendy as a way to light up the rockets on market acceptance.
