Has anyone seen creative SaaS business models opposed to straight monthly charges? I am thinking along the lines of where the price starts at a 1 dollar a month, and when someone s…

This one is at the University of Illinois 2 hours outside of the city. I was wondering if they had done one in Chicago.

Do any startup incubators or similar things to Y Combinator exist in Chicago?

I figure a lot of us could benefit from this, but lets start naming web apps that illustrate good web design. I'll start off to name a few... 1) basecamphq.com - considering all Sa…

In addition - this design firm put out a ad the day before my project started looking for a new designer. If this person was so good, why didn't they just fill that job?

The thing I don't get with all dating sites is they all seem to be exactly the same - mediocre design, some plugged in dating script. I can't tell if this means there's room in the…

World of Warcraft would probably be a good one, even if the ratio of males to females is higher than 1 to 1.

hmmm...I think the problem with the big niches is they tend to be either heavily female or heavily male. My friend I came up with the idea of a dating site based on what your fashi…
