How much did that discourage you in the beginning (the thought of it being extremely hard to compete w/the big names)?

I ask b/c I've been developing an app of my own and this is one of the doubts I have. I love building stuff too much to let that stop me, but it's still something I think about from time to time.



Well the beginning was 1995, so I was competing with Newspapers and Weekly Magazines more then websites. People would refuse to let me list their car for free because they were scared of the Internet.
