a craigslist notification system
where i enter my location and key words. then i get an email from craigslist whenever a posting is made with that key word.
a website
as a desktop background. this way i can watch that live feed of puppies without having that window open all day.
a site
where i can upload my photo. then i can put my photo next to different breeds of dogs. this way i will know which one i look best with.
a pandora
of books samples to see what im getting into before i invest in a reading the whole book. also when i thumbs up a sample it'll know my kinda books.
a filter
a filter that dulls the piercing screams of teenage girls during movies whenever a hottie comes on screen. or perhaps a movie time specifically for teenage girls only. you know, like they do when it's a mom friendly movie but for teenage screamers.
An idea for surveys
No one likes taking marketing surveys. Everyone loves Family Feud. Why not have marketing surveys that include a few questions that will be used on Family Feud? I don’t even know if they even tape the show anymore, but they should. And they should bring Richard Dawson back to host since he was the only good one. Not only will marketers get the answers to their questions, but they will also learn the most common response to “Name a food you can’t resist.” Potato chips.

Paper Pamperer
Kind of unnecessary, but I hate how when you buy printer paper, you have to keep it in the cellophane/paper wrapping in order to keep it together, free of dust, safe from crumpling, etc. It always ends up getting all torn up and stuck between notebooks and folders and looking really stupid. I just want a nice sized box that I can open from the side that will allow me access to my printer paper without dealing with the packaging. Bonus points if the box is spring-loaded so you never have to grapple around on the bottom and bend the last few pages trying to get them out.
Back to school donations
There is always a need for school supplies for low-income families and so there's always drives. While Target and others often benefit from said drives by offering their stores as a dropoff site and putting together tidy packages of the basics for altruistic consumers to donate, why not also offer to collect used supplies as well? I knew a ton of kids, including myself, who unnecessarily bought new supplies pretty much every year, but we'd always end up throwing away old stuff that was still in good condition. Just a way for brands like Target to do a little more good without necessarily making money off us (though I'd think the feelings of goodwill towards the brands would end up translating into sales anyway.)
Thumb Drive Wallet slot
For wallets and/or purses, a slot perfectly sized to house my thumb drive so I don't have to dig around my purse for forever looking for the only items smaller than chapstick.
