Million Dollar Idea
February 20th, 2007
I just saw a post on TechCrunch talking about online retail. It’s a 100 billion dollar industry… wow! I know a great way for some enterprising entrepreneurs to get a chunk of that pie.
What I’m thinking about is a morph of like.com and Yahoo Answers. Let’s say I’m at a coffee shop and see some guy come in with a really cool cycling helmet (fill in the blank for what interests you). I pull out my cell phone and snap a photo. The dude thinks I am a freak and moves on.
Now, here’s where it gets juicy. I take that photo and submit to xyz.com and the community identifies the manufacturer and provides a link for a place to purchase. I buy the helmet or visit the retail site and xyz.com and the lucky cat who identifies the item share the revenue. This could be big… really big!
Someone build this and I’d be glad to beta test or something like that

That’s great to hear Beth… hey, tell Munjal to start blogging again
That was one of my favorite blogs (and surely many others)… we were entertained and learning some valuable lessons as the company evolved.
