People have become reliant upon SaaS-based services like Basecamp, Salesforce, Freshbooks, GoogleDocs, etc. There's no guarantee these services will a) be around forever or b) be up at all times to allow you to access your data. There's an opportunity to create a backup service that runs locally and sucks a snapshot of all your data out of these systems so you have a copy that resides on your servers. There are creative models in how this could be billed (ie. let people use it for free so they're covered and pay only when they need to get at the backup). 24 0 2328 General general 44090 scrollinondubs scrollinondubs scrollinondubs 2008-09-24T02:12:21Z 2008-09-24T02:12:21Z general 29457 http://swphoenix.uservoice.com/pages/2328-general/suggestions/29457-resurrect-the-idea-of-the-arg-alternate-reality-game- Resurrect the idea of the ARG (Alternate Reality Game).

Resurrect the idea of the ARG (Alternate Reality Game). This is an idea that was pioneered, but short lived by EA for their game "Majestic" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Majestic_(video_game) and shown in the 1990's movie "The Game". In an ARG, the line between the game and reality is blurred in which the game interacts with you via everyday communications methods, such as phone, fax, IM, text message, email, Twitter, Blogs, etc., all based on parameters you define. The goal is to provide you with clues to solve a mystery or problem to get to the next level. I think that ARG's could be more successful if they were created on a more local level, that actually promoted local interaction to get you away from your computer and out in public. For example the game could provide you with hints relating to a physical object that could be virtually located anywhere and you would need to use the clues to locate the object to find a piece of the bigger puzzle. The game should also be realtime, so that you must accomplish things in a certain amount of time. It would essentially be an intelligent scavenger hunt of scavenger hunts, based on predefined parameters about your capabilities and interests. You could also turn this into a platform for others to develop their own games and storylines, and setup their own puzzles and challenges. 26 0 2328 General general 50005 Justin W Justin W Justin W 2008-09-25T19:03:38Z 2008-09-25T19:03:38Z general 2008-09-25T18:01:43Z 2008-09-25T19:02:48Z
