Name the Song
Why?
A fun game if you like music.
How?
An app that plays some characteristic part of a song or music piece (the beginning few seconds, the bass line, etc.), and you have to identify it as quickly as possible. You can invite friends to a challenge. Leaderboards show the best overall, by music genre, decade, etc.

Copywriting Swipe File Management Software
Why?
Document and quickly reference your work in the future when you need inspiration.
How?
Use a content management system (can even be a private WordPress blog) to store the swipe file you write: emails, landing pages, etc. Tag each with the specific descriptors, so later when you need inspiration, you can easily and quickly find old/new ideas.

Professional Services Finder
Why?
You are looking for a new gardening, cleaning, auto repair or other professional services.
How?
Take the old model of asking your friends to a new level by having an online search functionality where you can ask a question like “show me a short list of all plumbers who have good reviews from my online friends.” This can be built on top of an existing social platform, by having a professional service review option. Professional services can have a presence (a company page on Facebook for instance), and people who use them can leave reviews. When you look for a new service provider, the system can then show you the top list based on people you trust – your online friends.

Find Your Car in the Parking Lot
Why?
You don’t remember where you parked.
How?
Have a small remote controlled device (dedicated or using a smartphone) that when activated, raises a visible signal on top of the car (a white flag or blinking extended telescopic “stick.”)

Easily Find a Free Space to Park
Why?
You go into a large multi-level parking garage, and would like to know where are the free spaces.
How?
Each car entering is given a reusable parking card with dual functionality: use it to pay and exit, and it will show you on a map (a small screen) currently where you can find empty spaces to park, and where you are. It’s a live map guiding you to the available spaces.
