I love the idea of barkbox!

Ever since I saw this guy's project, http://www.sotmclub.com/, I've also been racking my brain for other ways to leverage this model.


http://Sweetsoundtrack.com - I often hear music I like in movies and want to add them to my personal collection. This website allows users to look up a movie, and quickly find information about the songs and artists featured in the soundtrack. I started to make a little revenue - enough to cover my hosting costs. I'd love to hear any feedback.


I often search for songs (in google) by some of their lyrics. Maybe you can add that ability.

Also searching for a movie based on actor would help.

When I searched for Scarface, I got 3 hits. Mousing-over I was able to see the year of movie, but maybe a picture next to the hits would help.

Looking at the list: http://sweetsoundtrack.com/Movies/scarface-1983 Maybe you could add a link to lyrics?

And finally, it might be good to have a little song-preview next to each song, so that if user isn't sure by the name, they can listen to a part of it. (not sure if there are legal issues with this)


Thank you for the feedback anywherenotes. Adding the lyrics is a great idea if I can find a public API. I planned to do a song preview using Itunes/Amazon clips on the Movie page but I was having some performance issues. Currently, you can get to #rd party previews via individual "song pages" though I realize this is less convenient.


I have a bigger problem with leaving jackets/coats at bars & restaurants. I also have had occasions where somebody took my coat by accident. Just last week, somebody also mistakenly grabbed my suitcase from the overhead compartment of an airplane.

Assuming this would work just as well for non-wallets, I think this is pretty cool.


I LOL'd when I read this. It is for this reason I try to talk to my wife about my projects as little as possible.


I think Ariba.com may be able to do what you described.


Totally agree with suggestion #6.

If I landed on your site and I saw a group in my neighborhood, I would 100% look into them (even if I didn't know what the group was)


I also found that really funny - especially considering the fact that it was posted on Bloomberg.

Michael Lewis wrote a similar tongue-in-cheek "Advice" article a few years ago if you like this one. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&sid=a...
