Exactly this.

People will pay for micro tools if they solve a problem.

Need to extract just 'text' from a webspage? Need to convert iPhone sized images to web sized images? Need to send sms but not that often?

Connecting dots is a lot easier than building each step. I'll happily pay $ for a tool if I don't have to build and maintain the function.
