    Ideas

    All too often, I have ideas which might make a cool website or iPhone app or whatever and I know I just don't have the time to build them. I'm going to post them here in the hope that someone else might find a use for them. These ideas might already be in existence, of course. I'm not claiming they are unique in any way (although some might be).

    You are free to take these ideas and do whatever you like with them. Of course, if they become amazingly successful, I could do with a bigger TV...

    If you wake up every morning and think, "My t-shirts are so dull, I wish I had interesting clothes...", you need to have a look at my online shop.

  • A new niche?

    "And several months later, our intrepid hero returns to the village to find it full of people he doesn't know..."

    A quick update. It's now over a year since Noodle launched and about 4 months since Wwwitter launched and I seem to have started a whole new niche of web-conversation sites. Most of them, I won't mention here but there are two notable examples: Convotrack and Tweetboard. If only I'd figured out a way to make money out of it before others did...oh well.

    As I've said many times before, I need some kind of marketing genius to take all these little projects of mine and find out where the money-making potential is. I'll quite happily sit in my room repeatedly coming up with the Next Big Thing if someone will then go off and sell it. On a related note, if anyone fancies marketing MonkeyTV, let me know...
