Many times truckers end up coming back empty... termed "dead heading" because they can't find a load to haul back. This would be "Priceline" for truckers and shippers. The shipper would list a load they need transported or delivered and truckers in the pickup area for the load would be notified by phone message. They would then be able to bid a lower price than the current bid to see if they can win the load. We would make our money the same way eBay does... a small % form the shipper and maybe the winning trucker too. 35 1 2328 General general 27572 GreggDrennan GreggDrennan GreggDrennan 2008-08-08T03:47:03Z 2008-08-08T03:47:03Z 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 30668 http://swphoenix.uservoice.com/pages/2328-general/suggestions/30668-a-site-which-students-can-use-to-find-science-project-ideas There are quite a few sites out there with lists and information on science projects, yes.

However, none take it to the next step and involve the users into the site itself. This site would invite users (students) to step in, and search for science project ideas if they were stuck, while also giving them the opportunity, to rate, discuss, and submit ideas themselves. This implementation of social networking would help the students help eachother, and better understand the scientific process by giving them ideas that are not only educational, but fun as well. 15 2 2328 General general 52350 andrewryno andrewryno andrewryno 2008-10-01T01:34:37Z 2008-10-01T01:34:37Z general 34451 http://swphoenix.uservoice.com/pages/2328-general/suggestions/34451-interact-with-an-industry-expert The ability to interact with an industry expert is a valuable sales and marketing tool.

For example, consulting with an attorney or a physician, seeking the advice of a financial advisor or just bounce recipe ideas off a prominent chef. The advice seeker gains valuable knowledge and the advice giver has promoted her business. ExpertKnowledge is a website that allows such interaction. An industry expert, via a paid monthly subscription, streams her video cast to an audience. She has her own custom page where viewers can tune in. Her page may have auxiliary media files that compliment her video cast. Her audience consists of passive and active viewers who can text or ask questions via video and audio interaction. There are many sites that contain static knowledge-based content like videos or text documents. But once you read a white paper or watch a video, it’s very difficult to obtain feedback. Sure you can add to a blog post, but the level of quality is far inferior to real-time human interaction. There are also many sites that allow streaming videos and text chat, for example, UStream. But the content is generally a hodgepodge of hit and miss videos. If a person is seeking genuine content of substance, the search can be daunting and yield minimal results. It is my goal to establish ExpertKnowledge as the source for knowledge, how-to advice, opinions or counsel. Viewers can choose channels based on categories, then narrow their choice based on user feedback and audience participation. When someone needs live, real-time advice from a nutritionist to a mechanic to an interior designer, their first destination will be ExpertKnowledge. 57 9 2328 General general 56604 VincentSerpico VincentSerpico VincentSerpico 2008-10-08T04:37:32Z 2008-10-08T04:37:32Z general 2008-10-01T01:30:28Z 2008-10-16T19:49:37Z
