I've always wondered why social networks don't ally with music labels and promote/sell music. Small networks can contact indie labels, and huge networks can work with sony, etc ... It just seems to me that music is the perfect social product...
Otherwise, Viso has a steeper learning curve, but probably has more tools for what you're doing. I know it's expensive to buy, but with a Bizspark membership (get sponsored and only pay $100 after 3 years) it's free for the downloading along with your MSDN membership.
A first-aid application for e.g. iPhone which shouts at me what to do when finding an unconscious person. With clear voice and pictures that I can even understand if my head's in "omg omg he's dying what to do what to do" mode. (Perhaps such an app exists; I'm too far away from an iTunes-capable computer right now to check.)
I was in a (non-life-threatening) accident last week and I can think of a couple of useful first-aid pointers lots of people overlook, like:
* so what is the local emergency number? (based on GPS position) * "let's give him something to drink to comfort him ..." (Don't !)
Basically a decision tree to help people with basic first aid. These protocols exist in the first aid world.
Something that takes blog posts from a related cluster of blogs and presents them as a threaded newsgroup.
A SLIME* for Python, Perl or Ruby ( http://common-lisp.net/project/slime/ ). All of these languages have a powerful reflection/meta programming facility (yes, Perl included). So technically, something like could be implemented: 1) The server (using Twisted in Python or POE in Perl) listens for requests. Requests are for objects. 2) The server looks at the request, serializes it into a s-exp describing the state of th…
I'm not entirely sure, but I think you might just have to implement a Swank server, and SLIME* would work without problems. It could be that you're forced to use s-expressions, but I doubt it.
Look at something like Coda (www.panic.com) and think instead of having all the apps built in to the app you just have a tabbed window container that you add app windows to that allows you to quickly switch from one to the other (eg. tabs for text editor,terminal,version control gui,ftp client, pdf viewer)

That's a pretty cool idea, but aren't you better off calling 911 or your local equivalent? What about liability issues? What about responsiveness? This thing needs to be fast and non-intrusive !

I like the idea of a decision tree. Big readable decision screens: "Does the person answer when spoken to? [YES NO]" etc.
