'Anything', Worm Poop, Gym Games, 'Whatever'.
A pretty strange title for this post, I'll give you that.However all the above are in fact, new business ideas, as reported by a real favourite site of mine for many years called Springwise. [Thanks Blakey] Anything goes in this world and Springwise continually surf the waves of entrepreneurial innovation, and report these findings. You'll find updates available via RSS, and via their very neat, weekly newsletter.
Take a browse through the site, I can guarantee you'll find some amazingly fresh, inspirational and unique ideas. Even Worm poop has to get reported somewhere...

Thumbs up.
Not one for me, but some may like this pretty clever, and simplistic way of viewing your web browsing history, in the form of a filmstrip of screen shots. As is everything these days, there is of course the social web 2.0 aspects, such saving and sharing filmstrips with others. This is in effect a visual Del.icio.us or StumbleUpon. Not for every one, but a innovative idea. For FireFox only.Labels: FireFox
Transparency. 'Clearly' the way forward...
Transparency is on the increase, particularly in the web world, and the old cobwebs and obscurity of commerce of the past, are thankfully changing. Out goes complexity & obscurity, and in it's place, the simple, transparent & 'Don't be evil' Google type mantra of 'new' commerce.
Of course a huge win for the consumer, but given the right approach, it can also be a huge boost for the [let's call them] 'non-evil' businesses out there. Of course for many companies this is not good news. However, with sites such as Digg and other social networking tools on a virus like increase, businesses have no real option but to embrace this consumer change, and take responsibility, or their bottom line will be affected, no doubt about that.
Recent examples such as Greenpeace with their iPoison site, is likely to hurt hard. Especially considering the almost undying love & scrutiny for the brand from Apple fan boys worldwide. [Even Greenpeace manage to squeeze in some adoration for the brand in their site!]
The pressure's building, and with sites such as Tripadvisor and the multitude of reviews, feedback and rating sites available, it's very simple. If you want to get ahead, get seen to be as open, clear, and as transparent as possible. You never know, your customers might like what they see.
