I had built FocusTi.me, an alternative interface for JIRA which allows for easy, to-the-minute time tracking. It was only an MVP, but there's a ton of market potential there. Would love to see it succeed, in a partnership or with someone else at the helm.

Technically it's a Ruby app I had deployed on Heroku; still own the domain and SSL certs for a year.

A 4 hour work week style muse business that I created 5 yrs ago and has been automated ever since: http://www.HowToDJFast.com. The site sells DJ Training Videos and other training. The site has killer rankings, gets roughly 75 optins a day, has an email auto-responder sequence that sells a lot of product & affiliate offers. I spend an hour or two a month on it (if that). The site currently pulls in a little under $4k/month and there is very little overhead (high margins). Due to a lack of interest in the subject (DJing) I have put zero effort into increasing revs. With a little TLC this baby could be doing tripple what it is now as other sites in the space are doing. Reach out and make me an offer. Its awesome passive income: sean{ at* }envirodonatecom

http://www.oneqstn.com is a simple, accountless survey web app.

Lots of room for growth and expansion but I don't have the time to put into it. A few hundred questions have been asked over the last year and it's had a couple of traffic spikes but nothing serious.

If not interested in purchasing then I am looking for someone to work with me on the marketing/traffic building side of things and would happily offer a 50:50 split on ad revenues (or some other monetization strategy). I don't have any idea how to generate traffic for it so would be happy to work with someone.

Reply below if interested in either option.

Search Circle(SC) URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2-Dk435vj8

SC solves 2 problems:

1- Saving time: When you search on Google/Yahoo, it gives lots of link. You gotta click one by one or pick one based on your intuition. It takes lots of time. Now Imagine you get same search result page but this time you get a hint by your friend to read it or NOT to read it. So if a search page has 10 unknown results, it makes you to spend time on 1/10 duration.

2- Trusted result: You are already getting quality links based on recommendation of friends/professional colleagues you trust hence increase chance of viewing something that pertain more to you.

Ohhhhh give me a set of decks and my bag of records and I'll keep myself happy for hours and hours and hours :)

Did you ever have an interest in djing?

Unfortunately my addiction to vinyl rules me out of what would likely be an expensive purchase. Best of kick with your sale.

http://www.rankique.com/ is a price-tracking site for Amazon. It would probably need a renaming and some SEO-love, as it's currently generating about 5$/month (with zero time spent on it). Was once supposed to evolve into a better product search engine, but I've lost interest a while ago (except for personal use, it really can save a lot of money).

I was thinking about something like this a couple of days ago for Kindle books.
