you should read some papers and books about network effects, going viral and so on... you know in this world, only the lame stuff goes public and becomes widely popular, because the majority of people in this world are lames...
I feel so too. But I'm absolutely newby in this topic. Can you please advice me some links to the books or articles to start with? I will be glad to read something about networking.
next time when you go to bed, just sleep at 22 and wake up at 6, the important thing is try to sleep early and just forget about your god damn projects
Well if you like working with natural language. As far as I know, nobody has ported Natural Language Tool Kit (NLTK) from Python into PHP. I've ported small parts to suit my needs, but I am sure a lot of PHP developers would love having access to the whole thing directly.
I've been bouncing the idea around in my head for a while to predict the weather in an area from a photostream (ie flickr, twitter, etc). More brightness -> hotter is a simple correlation, but you could extract a lot of interesting image and meta features, I am sure (for instance, maybe people take less indoor photos in the summer).
This is more of a "fun" project in realtime, but historical weather data is actually very valuable for things like energy price prediction, and is pretty hard to get. I don't know what the market is like, but there is almost definitely one (I would be a customer if the data is accurate).
