IDEA #73 – Friends Categorized as API to other Facebook Apps

TweetAnother Facebook application idea comin’ at ya!… Robert Scoble has vocalized how he doesn’t like the restriction Facebook puts on your number of friends (5,000) and that he wants as many people to be his friend as they want. But the problem Robert (and others with tons of friends — even if it’s 100) is [...]

IDEA #72 – Digg for Facebook Photos

Read more on "IDEA #72 – Digg for Facebook Photos" »

TweetNot actually Digg, but a Facebook application like Digg, but for photos on Facebook. Facebook apparently has the most photos anywhere on the web — there should be a button under each allowing users viewing them to rate them (thumbs up/down; or rate 1-10; or click a ‘LOL’ vote to vote up the funniest pictures). [...]

IDEA #71 – User-Gen Opinionated Videos, Photos, or Text (Facebook App)

TweetAlright, kinda of similar to this previous idea, but not completely. QUESTIONS TO USERS – we want to extract original video (photo/text) content from our users, thus we want to give them “tasks” in a sense. Based on what we know about them, ask them related questions — such as “What is your favorite pizza [...]

TweetFrom this previous idea post. DAILY VIDEO CREATION CONTEST Each day, a topic is chosen that users have 24-hours to create a video that incorporates the topic. For example, the topic might be “Altoids” – one user might create a 15-second video clip of Altoids dropping out of the tin canister and bouncing off a [...]

TweetAllow someone to be viewing the profile of someone’s page, and let them select a predefined question … such as “What are you wearing?”, “What are you doing?”, or “Show me something blue.” Then a photo text message is sent to that user’s cell phone (by email) with the photo of the member and the [...]

IDEA #68 – Instructing Users to Collectively Participate (Facebook)

Read more on "IDEA #68 – Instructing Users to Collectively Participate (Facebook)" »

TweetAn app where we give people instructions to do things; we give them purpose to live each day. Maybe we change this “task” every 6 hours or something; or maybe it’s more frequently (or maybe there’s just always a big list of things we can task users to do). Some quick ideas of what we [...]

IDEA #67 – Desktop/Mobile IM Client for Facebook

Read more on "IDEA #67 – Desktop/Mobile IM Client for Facebook" »

TweetFacebook Development API allows desktop apps to be created and has a code library for them. I’m surprised no one has created an Instant Messenging application (like AIM, Yahoo! Messenger, MSN Messenger, etc) that uses Facebook users — obviously your friends list, but also live chat rooms too. There is supposedly a Facebook web app [...]

IDEA #66 – Polls on Current News (Facebook App)

Read more on "IDEA #66 – Polls on Current News (Facebook App)" »

TweetI imagine this Facebook app that is simply polls of real current news, associated with links to the news. Likely heavily focused on celebs, but could be categorized into sports, business/stocks, celebs, entertainment/tv/movies, music, etc. You could submit your own questions, which would then be scrutinized by a digg-like “duplicate poll question” filter, then would [...]

IDEA #65 – Universal Login that verifies/ties your Digg, MySpace, FB, etc Accounts together

TweetAnother submission to Startup Weekend in Toronto… Universal Login that verifies/ties your Digg, MySpace, Facebook, etc Accounts together Contributor: Steve Poland I know there’s OpenID, and quite frankly I don’t know enough about it. And not all websites are embracing it anyhow, so it’s not the solution at the moment. I think there should be [...]

TweetI’m submitting ideas to the Toronto Startup Weekend that I’ll be attending in 10 days and will post them here as well. I apologize for the post not looking that great, but I still have a lot more I want to post tonight. AuctionAds dupe using Amazon.com products or all etailers products from LinkShare/Shareasale/CJ Product [...]
