- revamp the music industry (big business is not invited)

- political social network (get people talking)

- revolutionize the structure of the internet (its a mess)

- introduce new airline software (I'd sell that myself)

If anyone wants to do any of these things feel free, because they need to be done. If you want to participate in my efforts to seem them happen in the future - maurice@revvu.com

Archiving the web in a decentralized way. The idea is to define a format for indexes that is both human and search-engine friendly, and coming up with ways to encourage people to share their archives. (dowser.sf.net; dowser-archive.org coming soon)

It might be interesting to build a "first impressions" service where people would give you their first impressions on all sorts of things including startups and ads.

To encourage people to do this, you could build a game like this:

In a sense, this "first impressions" service would also provide a form of advertising targeted at people who are willing to see what you have just for fun.

Yet another micropayments startup. Unfortunately, my current thoughts on that require several hundred thousand, minimum, so I'll need to get rich (relative to where I am) before I can really get that done.

yea i definitely want to see micro payments catch on. I've been ranting about this for months now. I think it is a much needed component of the new internet i want to see exist :-)
