Ideas of Projects:

complaint pinnboard

People are enabled to complain about everything (e.g. companies, product names) in the whole wide world with only one keyword.

  • The more the same keyword appears, the bigger is it displayed.
  • The user is also allowed to search for complaints. Once the keyword reaches a certain level, the complaints could be described more in detail.
  • The aim of this portal could call the attention of companies to improve their products and services.

Travel planner mashup

You got somewhere an invitation to a different city. It could be facebook, linkedin, via twitter or even personal. So now imaging, the day X comes and you want to go an a trip. You have planned all your trip and it was fun. But at the moment you come home, you start to remember, that somehow – yes, you forget of that invitation, because those traveling information weren’t set up in the right place. So fortunately there is just an application which keep all the important information together and helps you by planning your trip. You can easily just drop a link of a social community and set up on Google Earth, where this person stays. The next time you plan a trip you can see all your friends – and hopefully, now you are able to meet them.
