Next New

There's currently a plethora of new media services out there that do everything from A-Z, so coming up with one is not easy.

Personally, I think a service that would benefit me the most would be a Digital Rolodex. A rolodex is a tool that someone would have on their desk that would contain the names of all their professional connections, service providers, family, and friends, coworkers, etc. This is something akin to LinkedIn, but not just strictly related to professional connectivity and networking.

This would be something along the lines of a database of people, tailored to you. The people you put in the database would have to be manually added there, and would be categorized by you: so family would have the "Family" tag, and your local plumber would have the services tag. Normally, it would be done in alphabetical order if it were physically on your desk, but this is digital, so you can sort it by any metric you want.

The database would be search-able via text box and filter-able as well. You'd also be able to search via SQL (a database is meant to be searched this way to begin with, and you can really narrow down the results quickly).
