Invite people to post pictures of their former residences tagged with the actual street address, not human-unfriendly lat/long data. This way you can see the way something was long before you got there, or see what's happened since you moved out.

Bonus points if you let residents add notes to explain why something is the way it is. Think of the things which nobody would understand otherwise, like this: "We put a drain here because a natural spring comes up when the water table rises after a week of rain. Make sure it doesn't get blocked."

It's the social network in which all locations are fixed and time is the interesting axis.

If you make this and make a billion dollars, send me a chunk, okay?

I am playing around with the idea of developing a new beta platform. I have been running beta's for my current company and am frustrated with the current state of beta management services.

Let me know if this is something that you need, or what you use instead to run your betas?

    Also something I've looked at, are you familiar with https://www.prefinery.com/ ? It seems to do what you're writing about (but have not used it myself).

      yes.. I have checked out prefinery. I think it is okay. But I wanted to go deeper into the management of the beta to increase participation. So I ended up developing a new platform for my day job. Now I am thinking about launching it as a new service.

      What are you using for your stuff.

torBay:

... a tor transfer protocol of bitcoin/litecoin/ripple exchange/auction similar to eBay/Craigslist of ordinary legal/benign items without Silk Road scafflaw stigma.

Primarily and legally(comments?) eliminate or at least frustrate new roll-out of state sales tax on internet transactions.

Avatar user names' reputation will accrue similar to eBay feedback.

This example of `bitcoin injection' further popularizes tor being adapted elsewhere advocating everyone's privacy against Facebook, Google, and larger panopticons, and the greater acceptance of the new crypto-secure math-coin currencies eliminating Federal Reserve and Wall Street abuse.

Anyone up to coding another eBAY?

Where's all that code of defunct Yahoo's auction?

And today's Beanie Babies?
