Take for example Youtube, look how many similar sites took advantage of the idea and found ways to implement it in a better way. I personally think it's a great idea and I hope it does well.

They may want to include more forecasting options (simulation & statistical analysis etc..) and see how they compare to provide better estimates to their clients.
