Loneliness becomes good business

In 2007, a young man named Guo Jiaqi was sitting at the Starbucks in front of Taipei Main Station. Everyone passed by outside the window, maybe they will never meet again in this life. Suddenly, he seemed to be hit by Apple: If there was a website for everyone to record where they went today, maybe they would go home and surf the Internet, and they would find that each other was in the same place at 3 in the afternoon.

A month later, he started to set up his imaginary website. The website named "Map Diary" is a bit like a group blog. He cooperated with "Google Maps" to use the map as the main axis. Netizens write diaries and photos according to different locations. For example, if you enter your home address on this website, a map of your home will appear and there will be articles about netizens living around you. Needless to say, this website has brought closer the icy and alienated neighbors in the city. In less than a year, the website has hundreds of thousands of browsing traffic every day, and monthly advertising revenue is more than 100,000 yuan.

[Sentiment] There are many people who feel lonely in this world, but not everyone who is lonely can be hit by an apple like Newton, and then suddenly realize. This dear man is very good, he didn't go to a woman when he was lonely, but turned loneliness into a business. If it's you, can you do it?
