idea for innovation…
somebody should design a newsreader that helps people that have missed one weeks worth of news. I recenly took a week off from reading the news, and wanted to get caught back up with the news headlines from last week / last month….but with google newsreader, I see just the top headlines for this day, or sorted by topic… but why not have news headlines over a PERIOD of time?
just a suggestion….

Business idea: create a free daily newspaper for taxi drivers in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Business model is simple, and clearly a money maker: you target a newspaper specifically toward taxi drivers (of which there are 1000’s)…with articles clearly geared toward these readers… something about construction, bike lanes, the city, etc. Ads could be for refrigerators, etc… all things a growing middle class Brazilian would want. Distribution at taxi stands, or hotels. In Brazil, Ive seen girls at stop signs handing out newspapers, so this would probably work well.
note: taxi drivers spend most of their days reading newspapers & listening to the news on the radio… especially in traffic-congested cities like Sao Paulo where the cars are always stopped, and waiting for traffic to move (or passengers to get in).
While the idea my not have a high level of innovation, it surely is a money maker. Could it scale up? perhaps, if you could replicate the model in other mega-cities in Latin America…
good luck, and let me know if you have any success with this one….
