What do you think?
A super-simple way to email groups. Something where someone can easily subscribe and unsubscribe. Something that doesn't require signing up for an account, but only add an email address. Concept: Go to www.saturdaymorningrunninggroup.emailgroups.com The webpage will have a box to easily add your email address. To email the group, you send an email to saturdaymorningrunninggroup@emailgroups.com and it is broadcast to…
I'm working on http://vldtr.com . Although it might not make me a lot of money, it does allow me to learn about marketing, which is not my strength.
If it's completely free it will indeed not make you a lot of money, but what you could consider is to limit the number of validations an IP can make in a certain window of time.
If they exceed that ask them for a contribution.

CitySourced just launched to do this at TC50: http://tc50tweets.techcrunch.com/story/180036092/citysourced...
Well, I guess I shouldn't have shared this idea with so many people over a year ago then! :-D

Along those lines I know there is a very lucrative black (maybe more gray) market in which people will pay big money to find out flight plans of important decision makers. People paid that money so they could try to buy a ticket in the seat next to said decision maker. You've then got X hours to work a pitch. I know this happens to execs in pro sports a lot (people trying to get sponsorship, get the leagues using the…
flight plans of important decision makers If they're that important they're either in First Class or private aircraft.

It takes two to sit in awkward silence for the duration of the flight. I'm a pretty shy guy myself - but every time I've opened my mouth to start a conversation with my seat-mate, I've never been disappointed.

I don't. I just want to be left alone, UNLESS there is a cutie next to me; then I am interested. But, that happens almost never.
