#22My next idea is one I'm going to work on for StartupWeekend. It's killing me NOT working on it, but I don't want to 'cheat' by showing up with a previously-worked-on product.
Why don't you work on it now and work on something else at startup weekend?
I ask because I think you should take advantage of your eagerness.

#23A collection of core machine learning and natural language processing modules. I still have a gig for nearly two years, and am using spare time to gear up for my first startup ;).

#24Recently I've found twitter to be a drag because I'm following way too many people.
I want to start following less people so I'm writing a web app that will tell you who tweets the most out of the people you follow.
I'd have it finished but I was going around in circles trying to solve a problem that I just realized I don't really need to solve yet.
I keep thinking of other features I could add, such as who retweets the most and who talks to other people I follow the most which doesn't help.

#25I'm making a program that can take any common kind of file and convert it into any other kind. I find this is a fairly common need for people I know, but there isn't any good simple answer right now.

#26I'm in the preliminary research stages of building a series of stock tools that allow users to do arbitrary searches on the intarwebs and then correlate the data with historical price data on equities. I registered tinystocktools.com but nothing is up there yet as I'm just tinkering with what sort of free API's I have available to me at the moment before I start seriously building it. There will be social aspects to…
If anyone has any edge-case stock tools they'd like to see, let me know. I'd definitely like to create a "portfolio" of tools, hence the domain name.

It's what we (myself and a few friends) decided we'd do for SW, basically.
That isn't necessarily the best reason, but we're all on the same page with it, and think that it's the best app to pitch / demo for that particular occasion.

Work on it. It's not cheating. There's a good chance that you'll walk in with the idea of working on it and end up working on something completely different. When I did the DC Startup Weekend I walked in with a product and then ended up getting an idea from a comment someone made, went up, pitched it and ended up with a team to work on that.
In the end we didn't win, primarily because we were told to keep the pitch down and then the didn't do questions and only comments. Most of the comments were about things that we did have answers for but didn't have time to mention in our pitch so... There's a lesson in there too :)
But if you have idea, work on it. In the end I'm back to working on the product I was working on before the event anyway.

#29Putting the real Multiple Listing Service back in the hands (literally) of real estate professionals and combining it with tools that helps them make sense of the real estate market. It's part listing syndication, analytics and social networking.
It's all politics and people desperate to keep their cushy desk jobs. If you're already coding, I'd recommend getting out there now to find your hurdles, because there will be A LOT of them.
This is extremely true. It is all politics and there will be a lot of hurdles. It is what it is.

I would totally use this app.
I would especially like to be able to check potential new people to follow against my current list of followers to see what I'm getting into. Sorry, not helping :-)
