vocabulary learning browser plugin/background app
It pays attention to the vocabulary used in the pages I'm reading and the words I look up (either in the Dictionary app or on a site like answers.com) and builds a model of my vocabulary accordingly. It then pre-fetches definitions for words it thinks I don't know and displays them either on mouse-over, as a pop-up, or in-line with the text in the browser(!)

RSS reader article management tools
it would allow for easy categorization of the things you have read AND the things that you do not have time to read. tagging, caching of full text of sites, full text search, word counts. more of an article manager than a bookmark manager, but it can be a bookmark manager too. personal markup capabilities including ability to make notes within the text of various articles, adding your own links to other articles (more refined linking than just giving them the same tab). also, social functions including sharing links (with urgency/importance ratings from sharer), sharing keywords, commenting on read pages…

iPhone drop.io app for media sharing at events
I installed Droppler and found that it provides a pretty robust interface for interacting with the site, so this new app would not be intended to replace that. Instead, it would be focused on a relatively specific purpose: intuitive and simple real-time sharing of media at large public events. It would be useful for events such as concerts, conferences, presentations, meetups (such as NYTM), and political rallies. The new app would leverage the locations associated with drops to allow people to easily find the drops for the event at which they currently are.
Users at an event would be able…

seminar class discussion system
a class discussion moderation system that goes like this: a screen maintains the speaker order - whoever is next on the screen after the current person finishes speaks next. people add themselves to the list by texting or twittering or whatever, it's automated. but the list is not FIFO! oh no it is most certainly not. at the beginning of every class each student gets 100 points. whenever someone texts in, they must indicate how many points they are willing to spend to speak sooner rather than later/never. the person who has placed the highest bid gets to speak next;…

Web Idea – ISP Customer Mapping/Coordination
I know a lot of people who are unhappy with their ISP (Internet Service Provider) – connections are often slow and unreliable, customer service is abysmal, and sometimes there are even explicit usage restrictions. Even worse, many areas are dominated by a single companies with local monopolies, so the consumer doesn’t even have a choice. Finally, there are many rural areas for which no one has even bothered to build broadband access, raising issues relating to the ‘digital divide‘.
My idea consists of two main parts: first, a map that shows which ISP’s…
