These have been floating about in my head for a while. Mostly social web sites but with a twist:

mmmbop: A Hanson based social networking site. Haven't quite worked out how this would work.

pandr: A social networking site for bears.

prson: A social networking site for like-minded people to organise crimes.

Feel free to use them yourself.

"pandr: A social networking site for bears."

Or politicians. They can get their campaign manager to help them use the Internet.

prson is like my friend's idea -- an online marketplace for the contract killing industry. connect hits and hitmen. =P

an illicit social network / market could be huge.

host it in Sweden / Amsterdam / offshore (or wherever it's legal).

not worth the hassle from the feds though =)

WeChangedItToZ.com: a site that translates English-language text written by Brits into more modern and acceptable spelling. "Organise" (which appears to be pronounced "organ-nice") becomes "organize" (so much more modern and cool!). "Colour" (pronounced "col-ooor"?) becomes the trim and becoming "color".

Simple idea, and it's worth $6 billion! W000t! I win.
