Jordan Tate - Idea

I had a few ideas--

Education:

This idea would mean that there would be at least one person in every class at UGA that would have a laptop with a webcam that could turn their laptop around and film the class lecture. The video feed would be uploaded to a server that UGA provided--from there the feed could be streamed to anywhere in the world for free. (Of course, no degree could be provided.) Education would be promoted and also the image of UGA as a competitive choice for higher education would be promoted.

Finance:

Mint.com - A personal finance site that downloads all of its users credit card, debit card, investments, and loan data into one central location to help in the users finances.

We could work on this to enable their personal finance software to actually be able to extend savings to their users. This could be done by promoting cheaper restaurants in the area, or promoting cheaper gas stations, etc.

Transportation:

TRL--Text, Ride, Listen

This would subscribe its users to get text message updates of when a specified Athens Transit was coming closer so that you were always on time. GPS would be required, but it would not be a problem because it is installed on all of the buses already. In addition, because the text message service would generate some revenue, free music could be downloaded by the users that inadvertently promoted local Athens musicians. Of course, the entire system would be promoting public transportation and greener traffic.
