Your overviews are so brief it's nect to impossible ot make serious comment but... First up HR. You I dont think you would ever manage to sell this as a web app. Personal employee details are, well, sacrosant property at any large company. Trusting such details to a web startup is unlikely to happen. Handytree - Im not sure I get this idea. There are a few decision making startups kicking about (hunch for a start) you might want to research. I think pitching this to people as a site to use would be harder than most. Mathtribes. This to me seems your strongest idea - but also a hard one to make money off. Math education is usually well laid out in the National Curriculum's of individual countries so you have to make sure you focus any lesson plan material to get it right (if you dont cover the curriculum exactly Teachers are unlikely to use it). I like the Q/A methodology idea though - that could be handy. But as I said - how to monetize it is a problem.

First of all, thanks so much for your comment. You are right, my overviews are too brief coz I don't want to write a long essay here to scare off people or point you guys to my own blog. I want to start the discussion first. 1)HR You're right. Personal info is sensitive but for Basecamp, Mint, and Zendesk. They also manage customers' confidential information. I believe there should be some ways to solve this problem. What's your thought? 2)Decision Tree I am sorry that this one is a little bit confusing. The app will actually let you input your utility of each choices and calculate the best choice for you. I think Hunch is guessing your best choice. But my app will be like a calculator. You have to input other choice and path yourself. You can check out the more detailed idea on HBR: http://harvardbusiness.org/product/decision-trees-for-decision-making/an/64410-PDF-ENG http://harvardbusiness.org/product/decision-trees-for-decisi... 3)Math Good question. Monetizing this could be difficult. I think I will just focus on the US in the beginning. Do you think monetizing it by related services like real-time tutoring, and premium questions and games are possible? I just think if parents are willing to pay for Club Penguin, they should be willing to pay for education as well. Would love to hear your comments. Million Thanks!
