An Online Book of Family Lore
Why?
To collect for the enjoyment of present and future family members all the good stories of your family.
How?
Have an online platform where you can create a private “book” of family lore, and invite family members to contribute continuously. Each one can help edit with their memory of what happened, so each story can have multiple versions.

Facebook App for Centralizing Rating of Experiences
Why?
You see from time to time a remark or suggestion made by a friend on Facebook about a movie they saw or an exhibition they visited. Wouldn’t it be good to have a place where you can see all your friends opinions and ratings of experiences they had?
How?
A Facebook app that lets anyone rate an experience and aggregates all that are in your network. This way you can look up a movie and see who had what opinion and what is the majority trend.

A Marketplace for Child Labor
Why?
- As a parent, you might want to help you child learn something new and value working and earning money.
- As a child, you might also want the same.
- As an employer, you can get a motivated worker to do your simpler (or maybe complicated or specialized knowledge) jobs for a lower cost.
- Every young generation is better than their parents’ generation (their potential employer) in some things. Today this seems to be mobile and social. Make use of their expertise.
How?
An online marketplace, where children (with their parents’ involvement and approval) can search for job listings and apply for the job. Employers can post new job listings and choose from the young applicants. These can be a one-time project or a small job, or a continuous working relationship.

Idea Building Collaboration Platform
Why?
You have an idea. Why not quickly put it out there and have others help you shape and develop it? It’s fun, stimulating and rewarding. You could even find collaborators to help execute on it, or maybe sell it when fully developed.
How?
An idea publication website. Make it easy to publish your idea. Others will see it, rate it, and some will join in and help you shape and develop it. There could be a marketplace for buying these ideas, and a whole system for helping to execute them (finding funding, collaborators, etc.)
