Things of that nature. Almost any site or idea has been thought out for some time before investing a dime.

I also save any info in forum threads that is useful, sometimes I even get ideas that way too. Over the history of GFY there has been some truly exceptional business related threads on different subjects and many have had very valuable information shared so I keep all that info saved.
