Idea

I wanna this site in Brazil, or translate to Portuguese.

Guild of Business Advisors

In the past, a guild was an association of highly qualified tradesmen that self regulated the profession based on proven skills. Is there a place for a "guild" in the service economy and information age? In fact there is and here's why:

Networks are everywhere. How is someone to know if a referral is a qualified person who is properly trained? What is the risk to networking member if they do not perform? What is the risk to the person purchasing services? How is someone really checked out? What are the barriers to entry? How likely is someone who performs poorly to be monitored or expelled?

It would be cool to have a small coffee shop called Java the hut.

Save fuel and decrease automobile congeston. My Idea is to devote a specific lane at major toll plazas where asking directions is permitted. Doing so (asking for directions)at the reminaing lanes would be discouraged or simply not available. At the designated (direction/information) lane, the toll personnel are properly qualified to give directions, and limited (sponsored) maps are perhaps given out upon request. McDonalds, Wendy's, Burger King, Quizos, could sponsor the map to be given out providing local roads, for example, but which also might guide travellers to the nearest Mickey D's, Wendy's, Burger King, Quiznos, etc. A Google(tm) local map printout could be a mechanism.

This idea is rooted from enjoying the Choose-your-own-stories, books that I enjoyed so much as a kid.

DVD's are capable of so much more. Why not get to a certain turning point in a movie and be able to decide what action or decision your main character makes next and how that affects the story?
