Thanks for sharing, reading your ideas has spawned lots of inspiration for the projects I'm working on. I'm still considering which I'd vote for you to implemen

    The ones that caught my interest were things like exposing the informal job market (always interesting to read about)& Simple File Transfer (no account) I encounter this need on a daily basis. The issue with using FT sites that already exist (sendfile etc) they tend to have a spammy feel, end up being blocked in a corporate world so offering a professional, overly secure site would possibly tap into the business market. Perhaps a business solution where they register once for the entire organisation, provide their IP range and anytime your site is accessed from their machines you allow them a secure, simple way to transfer files. This is how Yell.com allows search access to companies to their online phone directory. I think the issue with having NO users account details means you cut out a lot of avenues for monetization quickly. By aiming it at businesses you would still gain revenue but the end user would have a seamless, account free experience. I also think the home market is well covered with Dropbox and the likes where there's no restriction on what you access, sign up for etc. The other idea that I noticed was the Cleaning DVDs one. While the only phrase I understood was 'cleaning my toilet' it certainly made me smile. I think there is a small niche product to be made out of that one! Heck, I'd probably even buy one, you could market it as How to hack your housework! :)
