… My idea is to have a service called www.webphonehome.com (domain currently available!). Here’s my Hollywood pitch: It would be like a myspace page for your phone number, but private. You would use it to store anything you might want to access later using your phone’s web connection, and it would be optimized to display on a mobile phone.
You can use it to access contacts, maps, music, directions, pictures, or feeds you have preset to get for weather, sports, news etc. The idea is that you can use the web more easily if you have preconfigured a personal website for your phone.
You would need a password to access it, so just because someone knows your password doesn’t mean they can see your info. Share it as you like.
Trying to set this up using a phone interface is going to be time consuming and much more hassle, even with a full keypad phone. But if you can create a personal portal for the web and everything it holds for your personal phone number, that’d be pretty handy.
I would make the basic service free, of course, to encourage sign ups, and offer an upgrade option or premium services for a few bucks more per month. Free accounts would be subject to some advertising somewhere, naturally. Ideally, you could cut deals with the various phone companies so they would offer the option to their customers and they could take care of billing and just pass through the bulk of the revenue, taking a cut for themselves.
That’s it in a nutshell, after thinking about it for basically the time it took to write this post. Feel free to use it, modify it, write a business plan, get a few million in venture capital, and sell it to google or yahoo in a few years for $1.5 billion. Don’t forget to send me a million or two when you get your big payoff!
