...a credit card application. Ooops, wrong envelope. Oh, here it is: My top five ideas for incubating on over the summer.
- Hyperlocal wiki/news site with a Google map interface - This one has long been my favorite, so it goes on top.
- Local consumer protection/activism site that includes a Google maps interface - I include both Nate's idea bout offending businesses and my landlord idea in this one. I think the best route to go would be to choose one or two business categories to start with and build from there.
- Cheap health service database with a Google Maps interface - Tam mentioned that some super valuable information that could be included would be who accepts state health insurance. For awhile, her daughter was on the State of Kansas' free/reduced cost health insurance for kids, but she had a hell of a time finding places that would actually accept it.
- Lifestyles of the Rich and Elected - Database showcasing how elected officials (and some non-elected policy makers) live.
- Public database of government contracts that includes a Google Maps interface.
I had several ideas competing for the last two spots in my list. I settled on those because it puts difficult to find information into public hands easily.
