Central Repository of Highlights and Notes From Books

Why?

Wouldn’t it be interesting if we could look at other people’s notes and what they highlighted while reading a certain book?

How?

Allow people to add their own notes to listed books (and add new books if they are not yet listed), and keep them in a central repository online. Everything should be indexed and searchable.

Buyer and Seller Intermediary Service

Why?

To accelerate buyers and seller finding each other and the right deal.

How?

Both buyer and seller when going online and advertising or searching a product (their flat, car etc.) will specify not just one price, but 3 prices. The advertised price, the lowest price they might accept, and a price between these two representing what they really would consider an immediate deal price. The system (machine or human) will try and match buyer and seller based on these 3 parameters.

Get Help Ditching Your Bad Habits

Why?

You know there is at least one thing you need to change, a habit you want to kick.

How?

A place (online) for people to receive help ditching their bad habit and at the same time giving the same kind of help to others. You “publish” your bad habit. Someone volunteers to help and you two decide on a point system to help you change your habit. Every day you report and are accountable, and your helper will give you points based on the system you agreed upon. Every week you both look at the weeks progress and continue until the habit is broken or is transformed to a good habit.

What Should I Read Next?

Why?

You just finished a book you liked. You would like to read more on this subject or in this style. How can you find a good book to read next?

How?

Have people who were in the same situation – they just finished the same book – tell you what they have found to be a good next book to read. It’s a place for reviews, but not about the book you just read – we all know it was good or else we wouldn’t be here. It’s a review of the next book to read and why. So when you find your book on the site, you’ll have suggestions as to what to read next.
