Application/Widget: Palin vs. Biden Interview Counter
A simple internet application or widget that can be placed on any social networking site or anyone's desktop. It simply keeps track of the number of press interviews given by Joe Biden and Sarah Palin since being chosen as vice presidential candidates. This is non partisan and informational.
Q1: Would you find this useful?
Idea Description
A simple internet application or widget that can be placed on any social networking site or anyone's desktop. It simply keeps track of the number of press interviews given by Joe Biden and Sarah Palin since being chosen as vice presidential candidates. This is non partisan and informational.
Should easily be added to Facebook, MySpace, iGoogle, Vista and OS X desktops, iPhones, and all other similar places. Ideally a spider would crawl the web looking for mentions of interviews given by Palin and Biden and then a human should confirm that each interview occurred.
Non partisan advertising could run along side the widget in the form of small banner ads, text links, or logo buttons.
What will you do if you win $10,000 for this idea?
I have no lofty goals for the $10,000 prize and would love to see this idea created regardless of a prize. If I had to choose, I'd pay off debt or open a college savings account for my soon to be arriving first child.
Vote for it now.
It would be useful. I would really love other options as well. Like the number of times Sarah Palin mentioned moose vs the number of times she mentioned foreign leaders. I'm obviously partisan, but you could come up with things like that for both sides. It would be fun and something I would definitely put on my blog/facebook.
