Local Assistant on Demand
Why?
Online assistants in far away countries can be useful, but many things have to still be dealt with in the real world. You might need someone to go stand in line, and fill all the forms at some irritating office.
How?
Have a marketplace for local errands. You specify what you need to be done and where, and the system will match you with local people willing to do the job.

Know When Someone You Follow Is Visiting Your City
Why?
Even though you may follow many public figures online, you don’t always keep up with them daily or even weekly.
How?
Enable public figures to allow their fans to follow them geographically, so when they visit a city their local fans get an alert.

How to Have Your Own Book Club
Why?
Allow you to share with others books you have read and found to be good.
How?
A site, app and email list you can use to build their own book club. You can write your book recommendations and people can follow you. It’s the reverse of the model that puts the book in the center and gather reviews around it. Here you the reviewer are the center.

Book Summary Center
Why?
People can share their good (or bad) book summaries so others can skip reading the whole book and get the gist of it (if the summary is comprehensive enough.) Readers can also get a better insight and help them decide whether to read the whole book.
How?
Have a site where people can submit their summaries for new books or even books that already have other summaries. Use a rating system to give priority to users who’s summaries are better.
