Is that small fraction in the same friend group? If not they'd be just a bunch of random strangers on the internet. The problem is that FB, Insta, etc... is where most people's friends are. I don't have any use for a social network my friends don't or won't use. I really do like this idea. I have a few friends I send a long email to every 2 or 3 months, just to keep them up to date on my life, touch base, see how they are doing since the last time we spoke. I quite like the format. I don't need to tell people about my life daily, or in most cases even weekly or monthly. |

Certainly if you just select people at random, it's unlikely they'd all want this service.
But if you already send a long email to friends periodically, and if they appreciate reading your long emails, and if they occasionally send you lengthy updates, then chances are the folks in your friend group would like the product.
To quote patio11 talking about financial services:
If there is a 100x100 matrix of broadly consumed financial products and potential customer segments for them, we can compete on product for one cell of that matrix, win by utter domination, and then start expanding from there.

This approach might not work well for financial services, but shouldn't it might be feasible for like-minded groups of people.
