The copy box looks awesome, although when I clicked on the link above is not linked to the right website http://www.copyboxapp.com/

Liked the idea of iThryv but could only access the site once, ever since it's been down - sad when you get the benefit of this sort of publicity.

Excellent post. Some of these are very interesting! I love "top" lists such as this =)

Nice idea, but I'm afraid a little (of all that virtual world)

Because when we begin (my wife and I) to play civilization - we've forgot for each other for a month.
I couldn't imagine what could it be, if it will be WOW :)

Stockmood sounds cool, but maybe too niche. It could fall into a gap - people who are really into stocks don't need it & it's out of league for people who aren't. Liked the idea of iThryv but could only access the site once, ever since it's been down - sad when you get the benefit of this sort of publicity.
But you're bang on, we could do with some really new ideas - as Ophelia has been observing recently, webspace i beginning to get a bit tired & stale without new contributions of real significance.

I think games like The Sims do a much better job of this and have a much broader audience and reach.

It will probably take a serious developer to make a really good virtual social world with a good economy that teaches values.

Don't forget to add "Collaborative" "Interactive" and my latest fave "Social Marketing Guru" to the Networking Bingo game.

Heh, and you made the greatest product of the bunch.

i was trying to use a bit of each pitch from TC50...yes, I drink way too much coffee. :O)

It's not a bad idea at all. I actually liked it. I wouldn't call it a startup but it's not bad.

That was probably the most confusing comment you've ever left Ophelia. I think I am going to start playing Social Networking bingo. Every time I hear "Social network" I am going to mark a square.

I really liked the stock one. I'll need to look at it more closely and test it against the market a bit. Even if it works "most of the times." It could be a lot cheaper than an analyst.

It was a cool idea. They have some adoption issues, but if they can get past those and get the banks to buy in it will be great.

“Teach kids how to save.”

Excellent idea and I wish them all the luck in the world.

Looking forward to your reviews! I'm very interested in the Aston Kucher project he's been working on. He's a very smart guy, but his 'Hollywoodness' would lead you to think otherwise.

I'm hoping to be able to go next year! So jealous...

Interactive and Robo collaborative robo kids sending spam email while saving their money and investing in the stock market, hanging out in their cool threadless tshirts and buying more stuff with less clicks.

My brain is about to explode (see it on a Flash Widget that you can download) Feel free to annotate this comment with your corrections in text or video.

The stock one sounds sort of interesting and sounds like it has a lot of potential, I might have to give it a try.

Someone might be doing it already, but it would be cool to set up an experimental site that let you invest and track imaginary funds in the stock market. It could be used to teach people about the stock market and has educational applications...

“Teach kids how to save.”
This is an awsome idea. We have to teach our kids about saving as early as possible and get them into the habit. They don't learn anything about it at school and if they watch the tv then all they learn is how to spend spend spend.

Great idea!
