An online reputation/credibility aggregator. Do the same for credibility that TransUnion, Experian and Equifax have done for financial credit. Aggregate the reputation of one user across many sites. Here are some examples of sites and reputation metrics to use: -- Hacker News upvotes/downvotes -- Quora upvotes/downvotes/followers/Endorsements -- Twitter followers/retweets -- Disqus Likes -- Facebook Likes -- LinkedIn…

Can the person who downvoted this please explain why?

Exchanging contact information with new people you have just met is still not as easy as one thinks. I'm not going to convince someone I've just met to install some contact mobile app that I have that the other person does not have.

I like it, a lot. Could do something similar with coding (PSD to HTML)

Sounds like a great strategy, and trying to target the early adopter crowd would definitely be the best way to get buzz going early. With it being 2 years before the next presidential election now, it'd be a great time to start getting it going. When are you releasing it? :)

Unfortunately I'm not working on this idea. I gave it and the others in this thread away to community because I'm currently working to make one of my ideas a reality and I already have a second one planned for when I'm done with this one. On top of that I'm not living in the United States right now. I plan to return one day, but at the moment I live in São Paulo, Brazil. By all means feel free to work on it, share it…

Very funny ... I'm in Thailand right now myself. So hey :)

And I actually have more ideas than time myself. The hard thing is picking the things that will payoff the most over time, knowing what's most important to tackle first. The best step, I guess, is just to get started and see how it pans out :)

Getting started is the hardest part. After that you just need to pick up momentum.

groups. create a group by setting it´s name. join a group by knowing its name. send messages to everybody in the group. get contact info of everybody in the group. create/accept/reject dates/deadlines. share comments/links/files this is for people who where at camps, workshops, classes, university, play in bands, work on any type of project together,... sounds interesting?

Yes. I've been infatuated with this idea for 3 years now. Specifically, having the groups centered around threaded forum-like discussion. So many times I've wanted to throw up a temporary forum online, and I just could never find an easy enough way to do it that didn't require lengthy registration and administration. It would be nice if I could just tell someone, go to "foobar.com/ " and we'll discuss it there. I hav…
