Smart Simon Willison: goes to programming conference with slogan "smart hackers, we need you" (or something like that) and sees how everyone implements it.
Really, you have inspired me to write trac openid plugin :-)
Overall smart plan looks good in many cases but there are things you can't prototype in couple of days. E.g. dropbox or rescuetime like services. If you do it poor nobody will care. Should you make conclusion that nobody cares? I have personally written rescuetime like program for myself but have not seen bussiness oportunity there. Actually I have not cared about that at all and friends to whom I shown it have not proposed to make bussiness out of it.
