The Elevator Pitch

For [target customer] who [statement of the need or opportunity] the [product name] is a [product category] that [key benefit, compelling reason to buy]. Unlike portals our product doesn't require users to manually enter links to services that they use.

The Idea

Problem: Knowing what web 2.0 applications are out there and what the competitors are for a given application.

Background: The Windows Start Menu Applications listing concept used to work. It doesn't work in the internet era anymore.

Solution: A service like www.Go2Web20.net which lists web 2.0 applications, but is integrated into the OS and categorizes the applications in a way that easily allows one to determine what the competitors are for a given application and records use of applications in the same way that the Windows start menu lists the applications that you use/have installed

I thought of this idea when I was...

I was reading through the commencement speech that Brian Storm gave to the graduating class at the University of Missouri: http://mediastorm.org/blog/?p=512

Specifically the section where he writes:

<blockquote>Can you imagine a world without Google? A world where you can’t do reconnaissance on your blind date?

What did we do before:
Amazon
MySpace
Yahoo
Skype
Flickr

And of course, iPods.

Did you know that iTunes recently passed Walmart as the number one retailer of music in the world?

I’m so excited I just twittered.

Honestly, no one has command of all these new capabilities. And, that is why the opportunity is so exciting.

As an industry, we are like awkward teenagers driving a Ferrari. </blockquote>
