Ask HN: Let's Revive PG's /ideas.html discussion

There are also a lot of "What do you want built.." posts, so lets consolidate.

Answer any of the following questions:

1) What needs in your life do you wish were fulfilled online?

2) What online sites do you admire and how could you see a similar concept working in lateral industries?

3) What offline sectors do you see as the least represented online?

4) And then to go back to the original ycombinator.com/ideas.htm - feel free to elaborate or add to the list. (in the same vein, generally speaking)

There are two aspects to this problem: (i) the garage is both doctor and pharmacist - there is an incentive to take advantage of my lack of knowledge and propose unnecessary work; and (ii) I don't know whether, for the services and goods proposed as necessary (including labour), the price is fair.

I know this is stuff that I should probably know, but I feel like there is an opportunity for this all to be made better.

Techcrunch about them: http://techcrunch.com/2008/06/12/repairpal-its-like-google-h...

1) I think I'd love a much better way of finding homes/real-estate which can derive synergy from 3rd-party apps like Google Maps as well as bring about some kind of social features more in the line of commenting we see on HN.

2) Mentioned earlier.

3) I think one can see huge opportunities in B2B niches. There seems to be a great unfilled opportunity in bringing together the businesses. The thing is that most of these businesses don't understand anything about web or Google Adwords which they might use to better market their products. The idea is to make it extremely simple for them to find other businesses which might be willing to buy the products and services.
