So I had this idea for a new kind of tour guide. Basically it would be a dude like me who knows his way around DC. Out-of-towners would tell the guide the sort of things that they are interested in, and what kind of food they like, and then, the guide would take them around town to the museums and restaurants and whatever else the guide figures they'd want to do. The guide would help them navigate the subway, and steer them away from the tourist traps, and make sure they didn't get lost, and take them to the really cool places that only the locals know about. But there'd be flexibility involved and no set itinerary. It'd be like having a friend who lives in town to show you around. I think this would be a big hit with affluent out-of-towners, especially if the tourists were foreigners and the guide spoke their language. There'd be almost no overhead for this kind of business, and I bet you could just advertise it on Craigslist. I'm not serious about starting this sort of business myself, but I think someone else should do it... and then maybe pay me royalties for the idea.
Also, why isn't there a MMORPG sports game? If people play World of Warcraft non-stop, and love sports video games, why not make a game where you get 28 people to each play one football player in a giant multi-player game. People could form teams with their fantasy-football friends and play in leagues over the internet. This seems like such an obvious idea to me. It'd be a huge hit. Yet I'm not aware of such a thing existing. Get on this video game companies, you are missing out on many sales... and then maybe pay me royalties for the idea. |

Hey! Well finally i get to be around here more, i think it's a good idea what you said at first, I don't know what DC is like but here in Mexico it would be absolutely good, especially because there are some people that try to scam tourist into high prices for things and what not, and then they leave spending more money than they need to and fail too see some great things that local people visit without spending so much, so it's pretty good idea I guess although kinda sad to pay for a "friend" lol :P but yes you should be payed royalties!! Also I like the sound of that word... royalty :P! | |
