I know it would cut into the monthly profit, but I've researched property management companies that have great reviews and they do everything from tenant placement to rent collection to repairs. I'd probably take the profit hit to automate it even more, thoughts?

I don't know why Instagram or Twitter haven't done this yet, but I'd love an application that shows me the top 10 newsworthy photos on a world map (Google Maps). So in the US, I might see a few over NYC and LA or maybe another in the Gulf from a recent oil spill. The photos would change based on where I zoom in or out.

The app could look at Instagram's popular page or how many retweets/favorites the photo had on Twitter, etc.

It would be a visual guide to news. Future enhancements would see a scrolling timeline, so you could choose a date and location and see what was going on. And in a few years, the collection of photos would serve as an amazing location-based history of our world.

It's too bad they lost Denniston, I remember listening to him speak at Kleiner a few years ago as a student and thinking to myself, "this is one the most well-spoken, intelligent individuals I've ever encountered." Probably true for most KPCB staff, but a loss nonetheless.

Agreed, it's just incredible how many times I've seen it. The person implementing is so afraid to push the boundaries that they end up with the same basic platform with an updated UI at best.
