TweetProblem: People are mentally blocking out ads on blogs. Do you ever look at those Google AdSense text ads? My brain knows their exact visual format and knows to ignore them. Why do I ignore them? Most times they aren’t relevant or I have no interest in whatever they are pushing — plus, I know [...]

TweetThis proposed website might be called like ‘DrunkenStories.com’. People would expose what they did the night before and friends could add to the stories. You/they could also submit photos, videos, and voicemails from the night. There’d be a social networking aspect to it — you’d have a profile, friends, various products that could be your [...]

TweetE-Cards are over 10 years old and still in my opinion one of the most viral things on the web. When you receive an e-card, it’s instinct to send one back to that person — and likely to someone else that has been on your mind. But the old dogs limit the number of free [...]

TweetSimple one-page website — input your cell phone number, select your phone carrier, and choose your own identity (email address) that will allow you to receive text messages to your cell. As of right now, if I wanted to give you an email address that would send me a text message, it would be my [...]

TweetMichael Arrington, TechCrunch 1/14/07: “For the blogger crowd, it would be very useful to have a plugin that works directly with the standard comments feature that allows users to leave text, audio, or audio/video comments at their election. If someone builds a stable plugin that does that, we’ll be integrating it across all the TechCrunch [...]

TweetHotOrNot displays a photo of someone and asks you whether they are Hot Or Not. What if there was a similar type of site (LikeLoveOrHate.com), but instead of a photo of someone — it showed a topic or interest to you, and asked whether you like, love or hate it. The site would learn a [...]

TweetHow many millions of transactions are happening each day? Whether I’m looking to buy something from a local retailer, or an online retailer, or an individual on Craig’s List — I’d like to know the experiences that others have had in dealings with whomever I’m about to buy something from.
