Like the title suggests, I’ve got four and a half dot coms (I’m investing in them all personally, mostly just small bits of time and a little coin) AND a 2 day interview, kicking off at this place this Thursday. I’m so pumped. It’s important for me to point out, that the interview for a day job could crush these plans for these *.coms in a heartbeat. “Business Technology Analyst” - I will be so happy to get this job. If the cards don’t get delt in my favor, i’ll keep looking, but I’m keeping the bar for employers high.

The *.coms are secret, until I launch, because they are works in progress, and may or may not ever see the light of day. Except BlueMoat of course.

Here are some clues:

1. We’re going to take on the “review” market, with a product line that is cheap, where nobody is in the space yet, and in dire need of analytics. I just joined this great 3 person team. Ok, it’s likely to yield ~$10K - ~20K/ year in revenue for year 1, and year two looks like +$30K, but it’s a start. We’re looking for investors.

2. After hearing the Facebook guy talk about “Content” Ads, I had an idea, and am going to launch a prototype, to see how well it goes, or at least get myself a little of the action. I’m dumping $3K - $4K personally and probably 500 hours into this one (if I don’t land a great job soon) we’ll see where it takes me.

3. Currently, media is deemed “important” based on what gets eyeballs, and/or votes, from the masses. But the masses are not smart, that makes media dumb, and creates a dangerous cycle for humanity. I’ve got an idea to change that; it’s real simple, easy to build, cheap, just hard to get off the ground - because it desperately needs adopters for it to work. It will only catch on, if it has the support of bloggers. I’ll need a network of bloggers to help me spam the blog-o-sphere. E-mail me if you want a % of equity, if you’re blog is in the top 100,000 or has +20K readers. I’m giving away basis points of equity for various levels of support from popular blogs. Don’t look at me like I’m evil for wanting to recruit top bloggers and pay them off, when you finally hear my idea, you’ll be like “Wow, that will help the human race”.

4. I’ve got a unique idea that lets me personally invest in the personal branding idea happening all over the Internet. It’s going to be powerful, but REALLY hard to build, in terms of software. I’m leaving this one, until I have a little more time, and a little more capital…but I want to keep it at the back of my mind.

One last idea hit me today, which I have spent zero time on… www.CreateA - - - - - - - - - .com…the title says it all.

I’m looking for great people to help start these ideas.  I have a small team of local talent to recruit from, but the people I know all all Engineers, and just graduating school.  People like me. E-mail me, if you want more details, and have unique web start-up talents OR CAPITAL hehehe.
