I like the concept overall. The animations you get when you misspell a word are pleasant and informative. I didn't register, so this feature might be there, but it would be nice to always be able to see "percentage right" after completing

I would probably use this as more of a reservation based service. If I'm throwing a party, I might say "I won't want to do the dishes after it", but I probably wouldn't say "That party was long, I wish I could call someone over to do the d

How about trying to sell ads directly to booksellers? Even if affiliate programs won't work, you could offer users up the same kind of book list as sort of a customized banner ad. Being able to serve up that many impressions must be worth

How about then giving the user a list of works by that author via amazon? If the users really do want to read more of that writer's stuff, this might be a good way to get some affiliate business. You could possibly even point to specific

Also, she mentions people saying "She probably hit the gas pedal instead", not "She probably hit the gas pedal instead because she is in a certain age range and female". People shouldn't confuse a statement about a person with a statement

A free option to try would be darwine ( http://darwine.sourceforge.net/index.php ), but it can be difficult to get some things working on it. If you have access to the program you need to use before hand, try this out, but otherwise you're

Get your idea down on paper, seal it, and mail it to yourself. This will of course prevent no one from infringing on your idea, but if all you are looking to do is prove someone came up with something before a certain date, this should do

I've seen this done (and used on a few occasions) as a standalone service for end users. Usually this is ad supported. I can think of a few applications I might use this for, such as accepting school assignments without having to trust al

I think this is a fantastic model for a tv show. I feel much better about paying for a show online if it hasn't already made a bunch of money through networks. People will more likely pay for art when they believe the money goes to the ar
