1. An URL shortening service for online stores. Online stores embed some JS into their store templates. Every page that displays a product now has an option to "share this product" (sort of like the UserVoice/GetSatisfaction "Feedback" tab). Clicking the tab/button gives the visitor a short URL for the product and options to share on Twitter/Facebook. Charge based on number of products. I actually think this could work (1 big customer and you're ramen profitable). If anyone is interested in teaming up on it, let me know.

2. A small .5-2TB hard drive or SSD array with a small cable. At the end of the cable is a memory-card shaped connector. The drive attaches to your digital camera's via the tripod screw. The cable goes into your memory card slot. Device acts like a high-capacity memory card. Perhaps even works as a RAID to prevent corruption.



Number 2 would be awesome.

I've been wishing there was a CompactFlash to hard drive adapter for a while now.
