Comments on the list: (22) ClosedClub -- make the $10k some kind of charitable donation; that way users can feel proud, rather than suspecting they're suckers.

Comments on the list: (22) ClosedClub -- make the $10k some kind of charitable donation; that way users can feel proud, rather than suspecting they're suckers. More generally, online variations of the club that prices out the riff-raff seem like a potentially very profitable area, but tricky to get right [and pretty unpleasant, but that's just because I'm a crazy leftie]. There's no non-tacky way of showing wealth online, the way you would in real life with expensive furnishings and an upmarket location. Second Life came closer than anything else, but on the web? Giving users personal assistants/moderators? [unemployed journalists hired as personal chroniclers or proofreaders?] (25) CustomCrawl: hell yeah, this is a great one (31) F5News. Like this too. build it on top of digg/reddit/whatever. Perhaps as an independent site pulling the content (in another frame, or whatever). Perhaps as a greasemonkey script or browser addon, that you can click while on the site. (48) ProofItWasThere -- like it, would use it. Something you could build in a weekend [maybe I will]. (8) Afrux -- a) needs a name change; I read it as 'affreux' ('terrible' in French, which is one of the most commonly-spoken languages in Africa). b) also, is 'africa' homogenous/distinct enough for this to make sense? [maybe yes, I just don't know] e.g. egypt obviously has more in common with Syria than with Zimbabwe; even if you keep it sub-saharan, what's the common thread beyond language support and working with old hardware? (56) TorrentLeaks -- there's a lot of space for something in this area. [wikileaks is great but very problematic, and in any case this is a domain where you really don't want a single point of failure]. Not sure how you'd target this specifically towards leaks, rather than all the other things torrents are used for
