=], I have a cookie/muffin recipe generator. Instead on a cookbook with limited recipes, the generator can be customized (produces recipes based on a user's preferences).
Baked Goods are grouped by type (e.g. chocolate chip cookie). The generator generates a unique recipe each time you click on a type of cookie/muffin.
How many creators actually become rich? I thought the marketers of innovations are the ones who become rich. To but people back on earth you could show how many great creators end up with nothing after years and provide practical solutions to combat this.
Charles Goodyear, Eli Whitney, and Robert Kearns come to mind as people who never profited off their creations or suffered greatly trying to receive just compensation.
This is a good observation, What is the rough percentage of those who don't attend MIT/Stanford/Berkeley/Harvard who have huge start-ups? Is it the same as presidents not from Yale/Harvard? Major Southern musicians not from Athens,Nashville,Atlanta, New Orleans, Memphis...?
I want to use entry-level employee information (had internship, graduate degree) about certain professions to graphically display hiring trends. Sort of like a Linkedin but without detailed questioning.
The job trends will be shown through images which are generated from questions to represent a worker's attributes.
Oh - I saw this posted the other day. Prefacing my answer - I don't understand the goal of your site, so I'm not sure how much I can help. I'd recommend that if you want people filling out your survey on your website, you'll need a much better interface. The site just doesn't look too professional or trustworthy. Sites like surveymonkey and wufoo can get you some nicer looking forms.
There's enough on linkedin to give you most of the information you'd need to graphically show hiring trends - many profiles are public, you'd get more than enough info to see what people are doing (profiles typically have college, grad year, and positions they've held).
I checked out this plenty of fish website. It is amazing because most dating websites cannot get people to upload pictures of themselves. Plenty of Fish has broken the personal photo stigma.
The odd thing is that, according to their website, Plenty of Fish is actually hiring despite what is printed in the New York Times.
On face value, Plenty of Fish is a standard dating website (compare to OKCupid) which makes its success more impressive.
What would be some cool ways to for instance gamify dating sites to make it more appealing to fill them with lots of good content (ie photos and profile text)?
When the site started there weren't very many competitors. They were also unique in the fact that they are absolutely free.
Sites like match.com and the other dating sites at the time (most were bought out by match.com) allow you to search, but messaging costs money. It was the standard model of the dating site for many years.
I don't know how you can say there weren't many competitors. There were tons. You're right about the business models though. But they were all created before Google and similar ad networks. Perhaps that is the major distinction with PoF.
