This strikes me as the startup to end all startups: make the acquisition of new knowledge less dependent on the acquisition of old knowledge. I haven't the foggiest clue how you'd accomplish that, but the person who did would build the next Google.
- nnq 12y agoYou just made me willing to resurrect a months old pet project that is exactly about this :) I previously labelled it as "too geeky to be commercially viable" but maybe with a different interface it might turn into some kind of usable service with and adds based or subscription based profit model and shit-load of personal data useful for deep psychological profiling by third parties (caugh...). But I don't have high hopes of creating the next Google... the idea itself cools as it may be it's unpatentable and has most likely been independently invented elsewhere. The technology already exists and once the idea gets out, the likes of Google would definitely have a huge competetitive advantage by implementing it on top and integrating it with their existing infrastructure... so I still can't imagine any way a small startup can make profit out of this. Anyway, I won't say more but I'll start slowly resurrecting it, and if I don't get any useful business ideas in the meantime, I'll get it to the point where it's a nice cool opensource-project that people can start to play with it to know at least that the idea hasn't just withered and died in my head...
