If you don't see what's interesting about a single guy, on his own, terrorizing an entire industry, I guess no amount of explaining will change your mind.
I personally find PoF to be very interesting. It shows what kind of success can be had without reaching for super intelligent, insanely great, SUPER INNOVATIVE, whatever blah blah blah products.
Determine what people want. Give it to them. Is this not an excellent case study?
I think a lot more people on HN would have the financial success they want if they'd focus less on "pushing the envelope" and more on "shipping something people will actually give a shit about."
Which, to wit, does not involve social bookmarking, or yet another online calendar.
