#42A mood indicator for every person within a nation. Takes into account technical know how and intent to thwart. Think of everyone from people who dont even use phones to a SF techie. The goal is to share in parseable data what is important to you on a daily basis (or as often as you like) so that sentiment is not a surprise to fellow countrymen or governments, advertisers, entertainers etc.

#46iPlantTrees - kind of tree sharing. You want a plant, post location. You know how to plant or have money, go there and plant a real tree. 8 billion people and counting. If every 8th person plants 1 tree, we can have a billion trees.
the secondary market here is you search by tree and find fruit/seeds/nuts. A more generic, iPlant would also show vegetables/crops and hook this up to seasonal sales.

something like sourcegraph?
dunno, haven't looked at this, will do. Having access to any public source code would be interesting to find ^canonical^ examples. I know where this does't happen, cough stack overflow cough

#50A polished, credible implementation of that would mark the beginning of a new marketplace centered on agent services that prey on existing Web companies and tear open their data silos and adtech, one user at a time.
But what ultimately stops me from further consideration is that the level of AI know-how needed to do this is not a commodity at this time - you'd need a full team of top talent, and it probably wouldn't be cheap/fast/customizable/secure enough for users if done now. I think it will happen though, the signs of it happening are gradually emerging, and when it does, watch out!
