Retro-styled ads during 'Mad Men.'
Advertisers should, like, embrace the context of the show, you know?
a whale tent
a tent that on the outside looks like a whale so when you get in the tent it looks like you were swallowed by a whale. also there would be a dangling heart in the middle of the tent that doubles as a lamp.
someone build this for me.
Those barefoot shoes.
They should make them with shells that look like regular shoes. So on the bottom, you're barefoot, but on the top, you don't look stupid.
Pedometer tamagatchi.
Had this idea for a weight-loss, weight-management thing. Pedometers are cool when you realize you walked 20 miles in a week, holy shit, but as they go, the ratio of gain seems to mean less. So this would be a tamagatchi-like creature who will get fat if you don't walk a certain amount of steps every day. Maybe you can input your daily caloric intake or whatever so you break even, but yeah, I mean, basically, that's it. You're not walking for some stupid number, you're walking to keep your creature alive.

P2P information.
This is a highly under-developed idea, but listen, there's a seed. P2P technology is still going strong, but it's unnecessarily held to the fire for being more commonplace for appz and crackz and warez and serialz and all that illegal handy-cam shit. But it could just as easily be used for sharing information, right? Twitter and Facebook went down because it's focused on a single server (okay, not a single server, exactly, but in a stationary place). Imagine if Twitter and Facebook were Napster, or Limewire, or I forget what all there used to be. That means they don't operate on a single server, they operate on multiple servers in thousands of locations across the world. I'm just now realizing while writing this that information isn't shared when one person isn't 'online,' but hey, advance technology or something. When's not being able to do it ever held us back. Listen. This is the future. Listen to what I am saying to you.

to go with eb's last post
fantasy advertising. every year you draft ad people for your team. every time they are mentioned in the news, win an award, or get a higher position you get points.

Advertising draft.
I don't know how drafts work. But after school, agencies have 'first pick,' 'second pick,' etc. This makes a lot of sense.
outdoor, sunny daily parking lots
create parking lots where you let the attendant affix a photovoltaic panel to the top of your roof collecting energy all day while you are at work.
Orbitz Registry
Instead of buying gifts, you pay to send friends who are insanely far away to the event.

a website, an application, something
do you ever hear a song that reminds you of a particular moment in your life?
well there should be an application or website where you can pick songs and put them to your life timeline. then when you have all your songs chosen you can make your life's playlist.
people would be able to store their playlist so they can update it as they get older.

Why am I obsessed with dusting products?
Whatever, doesn't matter.
I want some kind of spray that creates a kind of cobweb between dust particles, so that you let it magnetize itself to...itself...and then you can just grab one spot and the entire cobweb comes off the surface clean. You wouldn't just push the dust around and you wouldn't have to spend money buying disposable microfiber sheets and dusters or use all the water and energy to wash reusable ones.
For the truly lazy
Multiple copied pieces with shortcuts. I imagine there's some way to do this now that you can put multiple items on your clipboard, but I wanna be able to do apple+c, apple+c+2, etc.

more options!
on the facebooks i would like them to create other options besides "like". if i may be so bold as to suggest a "love" button and perhaps a "dislike" options. Human emotions are just too vast to "like" everything.

BathroomWall.com
The site would be one giant, interactive bathroom wall. You scrawl your message anywhere you want it. It goes on forever. It has no use.
