startups

I have a few more ideas for possible startups. The problem is is that work really wipes me out sometimes and it’s hard to get into that creative juice when you aren’t in the right mental state.

Anyway, if time permits, I want to create quick and dirty prototypes, one a month. Then throw it out to the internet for comments. Statistically speaking, I’m bound to write something people will like sooner or later.

My first project is a “crowdsourcing” website (as opposed to traditional “outsourcing”). It uses a wisdom-of-crowds approach to finding/completing solutions. I’m using the Amazon Mechanical Turk api to do it. Basically, it’s kinda an “artificial” artificial intelligence engine. It’s kinda hard to explain, but if it gets any interest, I’ll post it on here. Right now, it’s a work-in-progress.
