Hmmm....Re-reading the original idea, I think that TechGuy's vision of his site is completely different than what I was expecting. It looks like he is thinking of an idea site, rather than an action site. i.e, Guy gets ideas on things to do, rather than guy buys a package and things are sent to his sweetie.



hmmm....



I am tossing the idea around of posting this as an independant idea, but I think that it would be better as a subcomponent of the SMS site.



Idea- Spoiling packages. Guy pays $80.00 and gets a three month spoiling package. Kind of like a gift of the month club. He can specify the dates that the presents arrive or select random dates, Of course, larger or smaller spoiling packages are availible. I'll concede veto power over the gifts if I have to; but I think it is more fun if it is a surprise. These spoiling packages can partner with Prezzle for online gifts (or just an online teaser to expect the gifts?)



Let me know if this is too far away from the vision of SMS. Otherwise, I'd love to head up the effort on the subcomponent site.

This is definitely one of the components of the SMS idea. However, I look at it as the second phase. The first phase is to build a community of people that are interested in spoiling their spouse. Then, having a package like you describe is the second phase where you monetize the traffic and community that you've created.



The problem with doing the packages initially is that you have to have the infrastructure to support the package processing and you have no bargaining power with vendors to get good prices. If you have a large community of people that will likely buy, then you can negotiate better pricing from vendors which then translates to either better profit or a better service or both.



Plus, adding services like the above are things that will continue to add momentum to the site as it continues to build.



I'd love to work with you on building that part. The key right now is for CH to determine what's going to be done with SMS and free up the RPs for it.

I like the video explaining your ideas for the community. They are very ambitious and is perfect for CH. An MJ Manifesto (MJfesto?) would help orient users who want to become dedicated but can't easily go back and see all the hints and discussions that have been dropped in the previous months as well as help everyone here focus onto definite goals.



By the way, was the "gwabs-hinted" video all of the gwabs dd that's going to be posted?

Does anybody want to try the InklingMarkets system to predict the winner for the current IdeaWarz Tournament?



It's possible to set up a market on the Inkling site using information from the tournament. It is also possible to make it a private market. That means that only people who are invited by email can see the details (thereby maintaining privacy of ideas on Cambrian).



I suggest starting as soon as the first round is over given that that's tomorrow. That would leave us with 8 ideas from which to predict the winner using the prediction market. If you're interested, let me know - send me a CH email with your regular email address so I can issue the invite. Obviously i won't use the email address for anything else.
