Give me a C! Give me an I! What does it spell?!

I want to try something to do with CI.

Here are a few suggestions:

1) 2nd Hand Book Store

The textbooks here are pretty expensive. On one hand, there are people who want to buy the book but realise that they need it for just 1 semester. On the other hand, there are those who have blown all their money on this course and have forgotten all about the textbooks.

There are people who want to sell their used textbooks but its all hand-written and pinned onto a cork board in the student lounge. Real messy.

So how bout something like a forum? Where books are catergorised, prices are neatly labeled, contact numbers screaming out at you. All you have to do is type the book you want in the search engine and voila, results. Sorta like National Library Board meets Ebay.

2) Music

Have you ever listened to a song and wish you knew what it meant?

I've seen a website like that before.

But maybe we could go a few steps further? Maybe while looking up a meaning of a song, you're suddenly inspired to form a band. All you need now are talented musicians. You click a link that brings you to a page where there are contacts of people who think they can shred a guitar to bits, or have more octaves in their voice than Mariah Carey, or someone who can play a mean triangle. You can take their number down, arrange to meet at a void deck somewhere and let creativity flow.

Job offers to play at bars/pubs/private functions could also be posted?
Recommandations of songs?
Recommandations of guitars, jamming studios, bands?

Will come up with more soon. But these are just off the top of my head.

You've got an entrepreneurial spirit going... don't lose it! You're right on with both ideas. For the textbook concept, you could totally do this starting with SIM. :)
