Well it's actually a Monday. I didn't really feel like writing on Sunday.
I joined the UX India group on Facebook and Linked In. Before that I joined the UX UAE group to see how UX (user experience) is being adopted in the country that I was schooled in.
My idea for a start up in 2012 has started to resurface. In 2012, the last idea for the start up was too restaurant specific. I'm now thinking of an app closer to yelp (the original inspiration for the app) where people can discover the latest products and services (including events) that are available within their locality or nearby.
My ultimate goals are to match consumers with providers or products or services that they need. Google helps quite a bit here but it depends on someone having quite a but of technical knowledge to develop a website to place the information on. Yelp goes a step further by allowing less technical reviewers to place information on a site. I'm thinking of developing an app that solves missing parts of the puzzle such as ranking popular products of a shop or popular event personnel (DJs or singers.)
Google, Yelp and review sites do a great job of helping consumers to connect to product and service providers but there are some areas where they just seem to overlook or may not have noticed problems worth solving.
