This raises an interesting question actually. What works better, scratching your own itch (hobby project) and then putting a business idea around it (e.g. http://www.couch.io/) or putting business first? I think some VCs might prefer putting business first.

I suspect the prior works better but may need some patience. I have a bunch of projects in various stages of completion and now I am working on (enjoying!) something new and hoping to make it useful.

IMO make-something-useful and then bother about business should work better, but then I haven't made much using this approach yet.
