Reality
Reality by Christina Lutze

Continuing the discussion on free ideas, I’d like to see the following (perhaps they already exist..)

A chat bridge - something that can transparently bridge between Yahoo, MSN, Google, and all the other chat softwares….

Such that person A can use Yahoo, person B can use MSN.. and so on… The bridge would be a web site of some sort which can transparently translate between protocols and create virtual screen names which are cross platform compatible…

so for example… Person A has yahoo, person B has AIM. Web site will create a virtual Yahoo person B (for person A to chat with) and vice versa for person A, and this virtual person could be added to their chat software and talked with….

The key is the process would be transparent … a sort of bridge/proxy.

So, if I have only msn, when I sign on to MSN, this web site would make an open source me online and anyone with any chat software could talk to me…

Tip: if you are sick of having MSN, Yahoo and so on, try downloading Gaim which will allow you to login with multiple yahoo/MSN/other ID’s

A common comment standard - so anyone can comment on anyones blog, without bothering about boring login/etc. Think gravatar… hmm.. how about gravarant?… so you login once, and that login is good enough to comment on ANY blog

I hate MSN powered blogs as they expect people to have a microsoft passport login to comment…

A better search engine

Google is good, but not perfect. I want a search engine that’s better. As such it should include..

  1. Equal or better coverage (than google/yahoo)
  2. Less dependency on pagerank, or other weasely technologoies.
  3. Less spam/gameability.
  4. Owned by an independent company (not google).
