Web 2.0 Service: Application Database

Description: Since there are countless online applications launched each day (Museum of Modern Betas), a community-ranked database of free, online Web 2.0 applications based on function.would be extremely useful. The homepage would list the most commonly used functions (Word Processing, Search, etc) with the top 5 apps listed. The algorithm would need to take in account the duration since the application was posted, software updates, and filter out all the fanboy hate.

Monetization could through ads, referrer signup links for the applications, and a business-focused application database. This idea would be extremely easy to implement (a week or two), and have little upkeep cost.

Market: The entire internet

Expansion:
- Partner with online services (also for monetization)
- License out service for Web 2.0 bloggers and tech sites
- Create social network around services
- Create fanboy tags and badges for embedding
