Idea #9: A better way to do online Dating

There are two things very wrong with online dating: 1) You make your own profile and people tend not to know themselves from an external point of view 2) There is a huge trust barrier to overcome between sane people. Conversation without context can feel forced and fake. The first can be solved by having your friends write your profile for you. It'd be interesting for sure, not sure on how well that would work out though. The second is why blind dates work-- both people are stuck in a strange awkward situation that engenders trust. I feel that if your friends choose who you go on dates with, it would be better for this. Its an interesting concept, though I can't imagine it gaining traction in the US (this would work great in India).

Idea #8: Better OpenID

Add a property in your DNS record that gives a url format for OpenID logins. Your OpenId login can then be someone@somewhere[.overtherainbow].biz. You can get the needed url from the DNS record for overtherainbow.biz (and use subdomains appropriately) and redirect/validate the user from there.

This idea must exist somewhere, hmm.
