Steal My Idea 2

General

Okay, about a year ago me and a friend started a site that listed places that were open late. We were both really, really broke and my friend couldn't come up with his share of hosting and so we lost the hosting. Someone deleted the database backup off my desktop so we were really screwed and lost 500 places we had manually added.

If your quick, and smart, you could easily throw together a site like we were doing.

Everything is going 24 hours, and with so many people working late, a place that shows them places open late in their zip code is very, very valuable. We started the site because we were ALWAYS looking for places open late to hang out, and mainly, get some freakin grub.

Here are some sites that jacked us (they came 2-4 months after our site shut down)

gophernow.com (good implementation, but looks like spam, limited areas)

ilate.org (their a joke)

So, if your looking at making a site that could be huge in the next 2-5 years, go do it. You can code it yourself, then hire some people overseas (from digitalpoint of course) to add places. Could probably pay under 50 cents to have places added. $5000 and your way bigger than those 2 sites, and trust me, "places open late in (insert city name here)" is searched a lot.

Our domain was: aretheyopen.com

Chris I remember you telling me about this one last summer. It was really odd too, as right after you told me about it my brother-in-law sent me http://areyouopen.com/ which is a done by a friend of his. Different target, but a really original idea.
