Here's a thought: you tell it your budget, who you want to send stuff to, some categories they're likely to be interested in, and what dates/holidays. It nags you x days beforehand to pick a gift from the ones it's selected. If you don't

LiveJournal seems to have done well by open sourcing their product and charging to host it. Even though a lot of baby LiveJournals have sprung up, LJ still has 15 million users. The social aspect has probably helped a lot by making it har

Makes me wonder, why put stuff on the web as PDF's at all. Cross-platform or not, browsers handle HTML much better than they handle Flash or PDF. IMO, PDF only makes sense for e-books, and then only if the book-like formatting is importan

Twitter is easy to explain: "It's a site for blogging, but posts are limited to 140 characters." A good way to sell it is that it's fun: you can post that "chicken is yummy" without having to write an essay about it. The language of it i

The developers in my team room seem to swear a lot at what they're working on. I thought jokingly that we need a swear jar. Then I thought of having an opaque jar, labeled "Swearing Jar." When you put money in, it spits it out and says "f
