Let ideas come to you instead of you actively finding ideas

StartupDigest -  "Members receive a curated email of the best startup events, job opportunities, and educational content in your area." You will want to sign up for mobile news, social news, launch and funding informations for startups.

The Internet Wish List - People post what they want for their own consumption and suggest ideas. These are demands. Instead of finding an idea yourself, it is easier to look for what people want out there.

Some examples from the Internet Wish List:
  • I wish someone would use the foursquare API to build a cab-sharing app to help you split a ride home at the end of the night.
  • I want an app that can group similar tweets so I don’t have to read the same story from 50 different sources.
  • I want an app that can read me emails and blog posts while I drive
  • I want an app for finding babysitters. Location- and subscription-based service of vetted and available sitters.
  • I wish there was an app that helped you find parking in the city.
  • I wish my phone would create an app that blocks all calls except biz calls during work hours.

Start building them today!
