Building a killer web app in 45 minutes?
Was just reading this interesting post on TechCrunch - some of the most prominent and smartest web developers will be asked to design a killer web app in 45 minutes? I’m sure it’ll be a fun session, wish I could attend!
Fun apart, what is interesting is the ‘areas’ in need of a killer app that readers are asked to vote for:
I’d be very interested to find out where everyone thinks that a new web app is needed the most (and therefore presents the biggest opportunity). I can personally see a need for a apps in most of these areas.
Having said that search is a pretty crowded space right now but I can really see if that someone could come up with a better way of making sense of the web than the traditional ranking methods, it would really be a killer app. One such approach so far has been Mahalo - definitely worth checking out, human-powered search is a very promising space!
Social Finance is pretty crowded too and very regulated I would imagine, so I’d personally steer clear of that! And if a freelance web designer out there managed to take on Gmail, I’d definitely be really impressed!
Anyway, back to work on a new idea I just had on a new web reputation system! 
Do visit the TechCrunch post and vote!
