When I found delicious for the first time a few years ago, I went on a binge and bookmarked and tagged a whole bunch of URLs. Now I have completely stopped using the service. There is too much cruft (read useless bookmarks) in my

Semantic markup for services can be somehow extended to a search engine for apps. All proprietary platforms have a directory of apps that users can search and download. If mobile apps were written in mobile friendly HTML and could be specially searchable using semantic

There are two areas in which I dont see a lot of activity: Creating RSS feeds for my website Selectively choosing "interesting" items from a feed. 1. Creating RSS feeds for my websiteSay I put up a website. As with a lot

Associate a note to each key on the keyboard and while you are typing you make music!

Each user has their own personalized desktop in the cloud. So they can log into this website and have their computer download their desktop with all their programs and desktop documents available. Naaah....

A website where I can go and change the color of the background and change its intensity to act as a light. Taking this idea a bit further, it can also server as a "mood setter" where light is combined with the appropriate music.

A web based service where I can go to recharge the batteries of my mobile device (laptop or phone). So, I can go to batteryrecharger.com and it will somehow recharge my battery.

A search interface where I can draw what I am looking for and the search engine will find real world objects that match my drawing.

An email that I write now, but it will not be sent out until a certain date or even occurs.

Associate music with places by tagging places with music URLs.

A delicous like service for map URLs but optimized for mobile phones.

People who liked this place also liked these places... Apply contextual personalization to places visited on the map. The places can be any place - restaurant, game field, etc.

Why limit the renting business only to media? Why not extend it to consumer electronics, and other fashion accessories?

Have a plug-in in all Microsoft Office products that says "save online" and save the document online in the user's hotmail account or yahoo briefcase or even on the some completely different website. Then users can access their documents from any computer.

When I am reading a particular web page, I sometimes want to add my own notes to that website. But I am not organized enough to maintain my notes in some central location. Even google notebook does not help because it is just a

Based on historical traffic patterns and a variety of other factors (like time of day, day of week, weather, etc.), build a traffic prediction website. Using similar technology build a network routing algorithm that uses the fastest predicted path rather than the shortest path

If I want to go to 5 different places in a day (when I was apartment hunting), I went to google maps and manually figured out what the best path would be and then printed out the maps for each path. There needs to

As a PM the task I dread most is scheduling meetings. Just looking at everybody's schedule and finding time to do it is easy. Outlook already gives us that information. The difficult part is when there is no common free time on anybody's schedule.

Browsing on my pocketPC and smart phone has one big problem. Most of the websites I browse are not built to render on a small screen with limited bandwidth. It is painful to download and painful to render. A possible solution would be to

There should be a website that helps users create and host webinars. It can be free for the first 10 connections and then it can start charging the creator. This is very similar to Manjit's eLearning idea.

Say I am shopping for a desktop computer. I go to different websites and sign up on their email newsletters for deals and all that. Then when I have bought my desktop, I am still spammed by these retailers for stuff that no longer

Social and algorithmic search - www.furl.com is a website that is already doing this. I dont think they merge the two results, but provide two different lists - furl results and web results. Need to find out more about how they work.

Even in companies that have 360 degrees review process, the upward review is only to help managers get better. Wouldn't it be cool if employees could view their potential manager's rating before joining a group? This would be especially helpful in companies where there

Going forward with an idea discussed in my other blog - there is a need for a search engine which enables transaction. Some ways in which this can be done is use google, yahoo, msn search APIs for the first level search service. Then

Have a search engine that gets algorithmic search results from some search engine web services (Google search APIs). Then get social results. If del.icio.us had some web service APIs where given a set of tags, it would result a list of URLs
