Dave Schappell Idea of the Day |
While I was on vacation, I had this idea. Maybe it already exists. But, if not, maybe one of you can build it and/or work on it at a Startup Weekend, or build a real business around it.
Feel free to ask clarifying questions and/or propose alternatives.
Idea: Email-Initiated and -Processed Discussions (that post straight to the web)
Scenario: I have a question that I’d like to get answered. I e-mail several people, and probably get a reply. However, it would be nice if that question (and the answers/discussions) posted directly to a webpage/service, where others could benefit (without requiring anyone to visit a website and/or register, if they don’t want to). Or, they could e-mail a private reply. Or, they could visit the site and interact there, if they’d like. The idea is to give Disqus-like e-mail superpowers to recipients, to make it so much easier to post and share their knowledge.
So, what do you think?
