what sort of SaaS products are in demand?

I wish there's a list of web products that people want, but doesn't currently exist (or exists in a poor form).

I think you just came up with one, although it may be more social-media-research instead of SaaS.

The list-of-unavailable-SaaS product isn't going to generate any profit though...i can't think of a single reason why anyone would pay for such a list, or pay to vote on such a list.

I could see someone maybe paying for something like that. I could see it being useful if each item in the list was a complete package, including well-thought-out detailed description, potential functionality, path to revenue, market breakdown, available domains, SEO opportunities, etc.

You would have to figure out how to entice someone to purchase the item without giving them all the details, but my point is this could have at least some revenue potential.
