			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There should be such service that notify if I got email as Twitter DM. You can set specific criteria or filters. That what kind of emails will be notified as direct message in your Twitter.</p>
<h3>Why</h3>
<p>Because now a days Twitter is most of the time remains with people. Even on the go. So people should be notified if they got any email. So that they can check. And didnt miss any thing.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>What is it</strong></p>
<p>Artistes and the music companies should look for some out-of-the-box solutions rather than means to herald the end of the free-download era.</p>
<p>For instance, they could offer high-quality downloads, for free, on their own websites. Revenues could be generated by inserting 10-second long advertisement-jingles in the mp3’s (or files of a similar digital format) before or after the piece of music that a user wishes to download, in addition to the advertisements displayed on the site.</p>
<p>More at: <a href="http://sidhusaaheb.blogspot.com/2006/10/innovative-solutions-for-preventing.html" target="_blank">http://sidhusaaheb.blogspot.com/2006/10/innovative-solutions-for-preventing.html</a></p>
<p><strong>Why is it needed</strong></p>
<p>Artistes and music companies lose a lot of revenues on account of online music piracy.</p>
<p><strong>Where is the money</strong></p>
<p>In the advertising revenues earned through the &#8216;spots&#8217; inserted in free music downloads, in addition to the money earned through online advertising.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>What is it</strong></p>
<p>This system will help the people of Pakistan to pay their bills (Electricity, Sui Gas, Water, Telephone) avoiding the huge number of Queues in the public banks. Although Pakistan have created so many credit card services to pay the utility bills easily but these facilities are not in appraoch of all citizen&#8217;s. Our AUTOMATED BILL PAYMENT SYSTEM will take the bills from the distinguished frenchises without getting in the queues, And will pay directly to the relevant government department through exclusive account.</p>
<p><strong>Why is it needed</strong></p>
<p>This system will save the precious time of the people of Pakistan. They are paying the amount to the Government by getting in the long Queues and wasted so much time. The application of the Automated Bill payment system will help them to save their time and utilize it in some productive work. Following are the points why Pakistan need it:</p>
<p>1- Savings of Time<br />
2- No need to get in long queues on the DUE DATES of Payments.<br />
3- Employement oppurtunities<br />
4- Software industry flourished<br />
5- Huge Taxes could be removed from the utilities</p>
<p><strong>Where is the money</strong></p>
<p>This Project requires huge amount of investment. But if somebody interested to invest in this business, We can start it as prototype like applying the system in a specific area only, If the result is good we will proceed. But the chances of success if very much higher because people got so panic at the time of due dates while paying their utility bills as I have seen them myself.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>What is it</strong></p>
<p>Our whole region is living in an ongoing state of terrorism. Any terror attack in big cities like Islamabad, Karachi and Lahore results in chaos, panic and terror.</p>
<p>So we &#8216;the IT ppl&#8217; need to come up with a website which can help the whole community. The website will consist of the following sections:</p>
<p><strong>1)</strong> Emergency numbers of hospitals, Edhi House or any other concerned departments; where people can inquire about their loved ones.</p>
<p><strong>2)</strong> Hospital staff should be in touch with this website, so that if they require blood or anything else from the public; they can request or post for help.</p>
<p><strong>3)</strong> Live Twit Section:</p>
<p><em>a)</em> A live twit section where people can report useful information they have regarding what city routes to follow and what routes not to follow in case of riots.</p>
<p><em>b)</em> Cell phone and Land line phone network usually jams when such incidents happens in the city, but usually people stuck in the offices have access to the internet. So this section can also serve as a message board for relatives or loved ones.</p>
<p><strong>4)</strong><em> </em>Phone numbers of Transport services for example; Red Cab, Star cab etc. So that if one is stuck at a place where no public transport is available. They can hire their services.</p>
<p><strong>5)</strong> News ticker of Geo, Aaj, Dawn etc. To get in depth coverage of whats actually happening in the city.</p>
<p><strong>6) </strong>Google Map application indicating the areas that are suffering from the incident to provide a clear picture.</p>
<p><strong>Why is it needed</strong></p>
<p>We should always prepare for the worst and pray to the Almighty for the safety of our Country, City and loved ones.</p>
<p><strong>Where is the money</strong></p>
<p>There are things that we do for the community and no money can buy that.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>What is it</strong></p>
<p>The Idea is all about the creation of the system to maintain the health of any project as easily as possible.<br />
I am talking about a web based &#8220;Issue / bug / Suggestion / Change Request / Requirement / Wish&#8221; reporting system which can be used for any running project, like most of you must be familiar with Microsoft Team Foundation System which is just released in 2008, TFS is about the same thing, a web based system where issues can be reported to respective people under relevant projects.</p>
<p>I would like to give my own example here,  for instance i am working on three projects and and regularly i am asked to solve issues or i get a change request from client to change something in the website, and this all is happening manually, so i can ask my client to report all the issues, Change Requests, Requirements on that site under relative project and assign that issue to me, after the issue is assigned to me, i will fix it and tell the client about the resolution (through the same system). This way a history is also maintained about &#8220;number of issues found in any project&#8221;. &#8221; time spent to resolve those issues.&#8221; and so on.</p>
<p><strong>Why is it needed</strong></p>
<p>Actually I used TFS, and i am impressed, but i can not use that for my own projects because for that i will have to install the servers and I will also have to host TFS so that i can get access to it from any where any time. This is the only reason i wanted to create this system so that not only me but any body including companies / organizations / software houses, could log on and see their relative projects and their work items (i.e. Issue / bug / Suggestion / Change Request / Requirement / Wish etc.)</p>
<p><strong>Where is the money</strong></p>
<p>As I was talking about companies / software houses, so we can ask them to get registered on the system first and charge them for registration. For single users like myself, it should be free to an extent but after that they must be charged as well.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>What is it</strong></p>
<p>A specific frequency in FM band is allocated to a radio station. Suppose, a radio station is broadcasting at 100 Mhz. That radio station can offer a paid service to subscribers, that will require authentication too, and allows them to play their selected songs.</p>
<p>Take this example: The user registers for account and using the web-based control panel, he creates a playlist of his favorite songs. When he&#8217;s driving, he can tune to that particular broadcaster using a special digital audio tuner (or a radio). He gets connected to the broadcaster&#8217;s server and he can then play his selected songs, shuffle them or select songs from his created playlist to be played in his car.</p>
<p><strong>Why is it needed</strong></p>
<p>Just like we have Video-on-demand through mediums of cable, fibre optics or satellite, I think there must be a way to offer Audio-on-demand on FM frequency. We can compare it with VOD offers by a DTH service. Satellite signal in DTH will be replaces by FM frequency and the digital receiver/decoder will be replaced by the digital tuner/radio.</p>
<p>When we are limited to our music selection on a few CD&#8217;s or IPod when traveling on car, using this idea we will have access to even tens of thousands of songs. The good things is that all the songs will be on server and only play lists will be saved in each user account. So, no extra storage for each user will be needed except to save the play list.</p>
<p>It will be just like a virtual IPod connected in car with no storage limit.</p>
<p><strong>Where is the money</strong></p>
<p>About the revenue, it will be from two of the sources:</p>
<p>1. Subscribers, who will be paying to avail this service.</p>
<p>2. Advertisers, whose ads can be inserted automatically in the playlist of the users).</p>
<p>The attractive thing for the advertisers is that the users can be targeted according to their demographics (just like web surfers or cell phone users).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>What is it</strong></p>
<p>As I am a big StumbleUpon fan with over 20,000 stumbles. And now I am also going addicted with twitter&#8230;So is there a way with which we can integrate both like when we review something in SU, It comes automatically on twitter as a status for example &#8220;Nasir has reviewed &#8216;this abc thing&#8217; on StumbleUpon. Go check it out!&#8221; or something like this..Hope you got the idea :)</p>
<p><strong>Why is it needed</strong></p>
<p>Because Integration in different web services is the future. See<a href="http://ping.fm/" target="_blank"> ping.fm</a>, <a href="http://blip.fm/" target="_blank">blip.fm</a> and many more&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Where is the money</strong></p>
<p>Not in my pocket at least :P</p>
