TweetI wrote this email to the founders of Tourfilter, but had never sent it. I’ve sent it now and thought I’d republish here. This was from a few months ago, so some of these may have been carried out. Also since then, some competition by LiveKick has come into play. Tourb.us was tackling this problem, [...]

IDEA #97 – Tagging All Photos with people, places, objects
TweetFred Wilson discusses a (great!) band that he went out and saw the other night — and he brings up a great idea in it, which seems pretty obvious and I don’t understand why it’s not going on now. “You’ll probably see a few AVC community members in this photo. Too bad we can’t all [...]
IDEA #96 – Agent Intermediary between Celebrities & Web Startups
TweetThis idea sounds like a dream job if you’re a techie and looking for access to spend other people’s money Manage getting celeb’s to work with various startups … ensure their name goes with a well-funded startup; negotiate equity percentage and take 15% of whatever the celeb gets, for yourself. Walk them through the various [...]
Google: Chrome should use Gmail as my default mailto!
TweetDear WTF, I can’t believe Google hasn’t fixed this mess. I’m using Vista and it loads up Outlook when I click on mailto links in Chrome; apparently it taps into Vista’s default. OK, so I want to use Gmail [specifically Gmail in Chrome] — why isn’t there an easy way to do this, rather than [...]
IDEA #95 – URL Filter for filtering Adult websites using Google SafeSearch
TweetIt seems to me that there should be a web app with an API that I can easily send it a URL and it’ll toss back to me whether that URL is an adult website, or has been scanned and has adult keywords on it, or the URL has been officially designated by the company [...]
IDEA #94 – Dear WTF (aka “Dear Abby for Techies”)
TweetI really like this idea and thought I was going to really move forward with it. But it’s amazing how such a simple idea can get involved (see my sitemap at bottom of this post). I still believe this idea has potential for a nice niche of users. I own the domain ‘dearwtf.com’ (I released [...]
IDEA #93 – 125×125 Ad-ditional Info Skins (IntermediAds)
TweetThis was not my idea, this was another idea of Boris (founder of twittercounter and thenextweb). This idea is actually called IntermediAds. He’s looking for a partner to help him run with it. This post is published with his permission. He’s already built a bit of a prototype, click here. Or animated gif of the [...]
Virtual Gifts – icon clipart needed
TweetI need some icons [clipart] that could act as virtual gifts. Anyone know where I could find some for sale?
IDEA #92 – Virtual BarCamp (meeting of tech minds)
TweetA virtual BarCamp went down in 2006 where it was in real-time and people logged in, blah blah blah. This is not what I have in mind. I want someone to create a simple website that likely taps into the YouTube API, and allows people to record 2-5minute videos on any topic they want, just [...]
ClickJacking – ideas for this sneaky hack (Twitter, etc)
TweetHere we go with another little browser exploit/hack. It’s called ClickJacking and as Scott Jangro puts it, “like carjacking, but with clicks.” Scott has a great post with a screencast that shows how ClickJacking works. Thanks to @esnagel for making me aware his post. Basically, you can create an invisible (opacity=0) IFRAME over a ‘click [...]
