Re: Startup idea list
#62What you want is something that capitalizes on a basic human need, whether that means validation of existence or sex or facilitation of work, etc.
For me, it was dealing with frustration (http://ventations.com/), although that site's not really a startup. More of an almost-joke.

#63Oh, one more! A web consultancy that advises start-ups about i18n, translation, local laws, cultural differences, etc, so they wouldn't think: "Foreign countries are scary, let's conquer the domestic market first." Then we, the Dutch, could actually have used great sites like Amazon, Facebook, Ebay, and Craigslist instead of the terrible knock-offs that won here, solely because they were available earlier. Seriously,…
what are the dutch knockoffs? (so we can have a look)

#65I'd also like to see visual voicemail integrated into gmail or yahoo mail or aol or any client, but real visual voicemail...with voice-to-text technology for the message to be right in your inbox and a click to call back link or button.

#67What would be great is a way to subscribe to torrents as you do on tivo. So that my shows can be downloaded with out me having to search, Like a virtual tivo, but better. yes, that would be sweet.

Re: Startup idea list
#69Macro news. I get the news in my RSS feeds and its damn near useless. These events tell me almost nothing about the world. The signal to noise ratio is not good. I don't want to know that another 6 people in iraq have been killed in some incident, I want to know whether the situation there is getting better or worse, is it happening in a new area than before, does it involve a new group of people...big picture stuff.…
That's hard to do. What you ask for is just good journalism. I can only second mdemare's recommendation for The Economist.
Usually the trouble with big picture stories is that they are almost pure ideology without any data to back them up.
