Intuit is fabulous company!
2 weeks ago on a Friday, the company ran an event called Hactivism. Teams of up to 4 people spend the entire day working on a project and presented to a team of judges at the end of the day. We did not win, but we had a lot of fun, great ideas and came up with this problem and solution.
How many social networking sites do you have a login for? I made a list of the sites that I remember I have created a login for. Here is the partial list: Facebook, Eons, Praxo, Linkedin, Yahoo Groups, Google Groups, Yahoo calendar, Tagged, Ziggs etc. I only regularly login to 3 of these. The problem statement for our group was how to combine all of your data from social networking sites, and then how to populate a new one. There are business reasons that require you to have a new one.
We designed that tool on Friday. You could push all of your data from existing sites, into this tool to store. This might be the resevoir for your contacts, or your resume, or list of hobbies or interests. You could populate a new one, by identifying which fields or which records to push to that new site. Has anyone else designed this already?
This idea is very similar to a post I made in May about chargers for electronic devices. Could we just get one generic charger?
My Myers-Briggs type loves to make casseroles of different items, and likes to be efficient. Our tool combines all of that different info in one place. A generic charger . . . not holding my breath for that one!

That's a big GOOD IDEA on the charger, and while we're at it, can we have one standard battery format for phones and cameras?
