I agree with Parker on the pain point and I agree with mixmax on the constant flow of ideas. Keep track of them. Keep lists. Revisit the lists. Prune the lists.

I agree with Parker on the pain point and I agree with mixmax on the constant flow of ideas. Keep track of them. Keep lists. Revisit the lists. Prune the lists. I usually hit instantdomainsearch.com to see if anyone's registered an obvious name for the concept, reg it if it hasn't been, explore the competition if it has. Two thoughts: 1) Go to Amazon. It's obviously a huge center of commerce. Find an active forum. Make it easier for someone (or a group) to do something they're talking about doing there, complaining about, etc. Advertise it there in the forums. That's how I launched RefreshThing. 2) Observe existing behavior in others you can relate to. Improve upon it, make it simpler, show them how it should be done online. Double points if that behavior is something they're accustomed to doing offline and are crawling online where you can show them how to run. Or try picking an idea you have right now, developing it (a little or a lot) and then solving the problem you don't know it has until you're at a stage where you can see that about it.
