You have not detailed your usecase/OS, but do consider Amazon S3 http://bit.ly/fM7pm5.
Dropbox storage itself is hosted on S3.

Hmm.. now I'll wait for a 61 year old's thoughts on where social media is headed. That should be equally interesting.

Web/app stores = one stop curated collection with some potential plan for monetization.

Re:Ask HN: How to get ideas?

The only thing standing between you and ideas is your own conscious mind. So you need to find a way to make it go away. Try doodling. A lot. Let your mind go and ideas will flow. Running, bicycling or skipping ropes - it could be any activity. You'll know which one works with you only when you try.
Ideas are often born via cross-pollination. Do stuff and read books, beyond your narrow field of expertise.
Internet/libraries are full of books about idea, creativity & thinking. You'll have to do several iterations to find a routine that works for you.
