Social Media

Social Role App

App, Social MediaCorey RiceComment

Idea: A social media app to share nearby people's "roles" in your life with them, as if life was a movie, such as "clumsy waiter", "creepy security guard", or "hot girl who lives on my floor". Also: gamifying casual relationships, a passive form of dominance, a "tag cloud" of your most common roles/attributes, finding out how people perceive you and then figuring out how to change yourself to improve people's perceptions and/or expectations of you

Sponsor-A-Millennial

App, Business Idea, Social Media, SillinessMichael DinkelisComment

Idea: A service for wealthy old people to send money to unemployed millennial hipsters and art students to feel young and cool again. Also: taking old people to parties and pretending they fit in, the old person can teach the millennial about money and the young person can teach the old person how to use an iPhone, what to do if the unemployed millennial isn't cool enough to attract wealthy old people

Moms & Pops App

App, Business Idea, Parenting, Social MediaFelicity BlueComment

Idea: An app to hire maternal or paternal figures to give advice, teach you life skills, provide emotional support, help perform errands, etc. Also: your real parent can hire someone to do things for you that they don't want to do, hiring parental figures means they can't give you "tough love" and are thus "parent as slave (unless you choose the "tough love" option in the app), no "adult baby" stuff

Karma Peacock

App, Charity, Social MediaTom WalmaComment

Idea: An app to "peacock" your charitable acts/donations and other good deeds, to peer pressure other people into also doing good things. The app would display a peacock avatar on your social media which would be more or less flamboyant depending on how much good you do

Dating Site Public Data Integration

Social Media, AppJeff JohnsonComment

Idea: A dating site which integrates with other websites, so you can see a potential date's Netflix viewing history, song listening history, or political/news interests (if they chose to expose this information). This type of information is likely more accurate than typical dating site questionnaires

"Just Say You Don't Want To Go" Excuses Blog

Social Media, Standup ComedyTyler SonnichsenComment

Idea: A blog to showcase the ridiculous excuses people give to comics (or other performers) when they don't want to go to their shows. Also: people repeatedly asking when you're performing and then never showing up, catching someone who made a BS excuse in their lie and then exploiting their guilt for free drinks, it probably won't break a performer's heart if you don't want to go to their show

Social Media Without A Middleman

Social Media, AppDaniel ThomasComment

A small rant about Facebook and a desire to make it easier and more convenient for people to make and view custom personal web pages, instead of using a (possibly evil) corporation as a social middleman

DickAfterlife Messaging App

App, Social Media, EvilCamila BallarioComment

Idea: An app/service to send social media messages to people on your behalf after you die, so you can get your revenge and/or say constructive things that you don't have the courage to say, and avoid dealing with the consequences. It could make money by charging you if you a) change your mind and don't want to send a message, or b) are on your deathbed and want to see other people's afterlife messages which they targeted to you

Biggest Loser Online Dating

App, Health, Social MediaDavid StevesComment

Idea: An online dating site for people trying to lose weight, because "The Biggest Loser" is the most successful TV reality show for creating real-life married couples, and because "the couples who lose weight together stay together". The site could match local people like Tinder, and get them to work out together in the same gym, because the military shows that shared perseverance through a hardship often creates strong, lifelong social bonds

Black Niche Dating Sites

App, Social MediaMike GeeterComment

Idea: Niche dating sites for African-Americans, such as black farmers only, black lumberjacks aka "lumberblacks", and black bears. But not "black furries", because that's "white people sh**". Also, odd niche dating sites which already exist, such as a dating site for sea captains

Can I Get A Witness App

App, Social MediaAmanda BrewingtonComment

Idea: A social media app/feature which requires other people to be "witnesses" of a post (i.e. confirm that they were there and saw what happened), so it's harder to lie about yourself on social media. Also, other people can post (possibly bad) things about you, along with corroborating witnesses, which will hopefully pressure people to not be jerks

Club Ugly

App, Social MediaAlwin SheriffComment

Idea: A dating app where people who previously dated someone provide feedback and rating(s) that you can see in the dating app before you date them. The app will match people up based on these ratings provided by their previous dates

Community-Organized Public Shaming

Evil, Social MediaBryan DeuchlerComment

Brian wants community-run public shaming of people who do minor (legal) bad things like cutting someone off in public or insulting someone. Tom hates the idea, gets on his soapbox, and makes it awkward

Car Hookup Spot App

App, NSFW, Social Media, CarsJeff HorsteComment

An app to tell you the best places (private, safe from cops and criminals) to hook up in your car, which you might want to do because you don't want to show your partner how gross your apartment is. Plus, a beneficial role for perverts in society

Comedy Night Videogame Livestream

Social Media, Event or Activity, AppScott WildingComment

A standup comedy show on the Internet using the standup comedy videogame "Comedy Night" and the videogame livestreaming website Twitch. The show (which will probably be called "Nerdy and Dirty") will have a lineup of real standup comics. The comics will appear as avatars in the "Comedy Night" videogame. On Twitch, they'll also appear as avatars, possibly with additional video of their real faces as a picture-in-picture, and possibly with an additional pre-show interview. The audience will be real people, either the audience from the "Comedy Night" videogame (who can heckle), or, if the comics are performing in a real comedy venue in real life, the audience from that venue
