Original business ideas thread

    I thought it would be nice to have a thread where we post original business ideas we've encountered.

    I like this site:
    http://www.livefaceonweb.com

    You can choose one of their actors and send a script of what you want them to say, then the company makes a flash video of this with a transparent background. The result is that you have a real human spokesperson that stands on top of your site, saying what you told them to say. It makes your site appear professional and personal at the same time. The downside is the video starts playing every time the page loads. You can stop or mute it but it's still annoying. They should provide an option to only play it once per ip address.

    Have you encountered an original, cool, or just weird business idea? Please share.

    I saw this idea a few years again at the Internext convention. It was pretty interesting but it was not this company. At their booth, you could even do a promo and they would immediately put it on the web so you could see what it might be.

    But on a consumer side, I despise those sites, especially www.sitepal.com. I usually have my volume turned down / off now just because of this sound invasion.

    It appears to be a good business idea. May require good advertising to start with.
