Idea generation #39: Open source law, mobile phone to change cancer care, real 2.0

Law goes open source: As the web continues to commodities data, companies such as Fastcase will disrupt the LexisNexis of the world. The next step will be interesting. If such data continues to become cheaper and maybe even free, we can build powerful services such as Farecast for the law sector. We can even create law insurance to allow people to hedge against the risk of not winning. Eventually, we might have markets where legal can be freely traded and hedged.

Managing symptons by mobile phones: I will want to use this technology from a social point of view. Use mobile phone to enable users to share their pain and sufferings. Cancer treatment is a painful and long process. The social structure which can be enabled by the mobile phone applications (imagine twitter) can provide a form of relieve for the patients.

Social network to fight malaria: Wow. What can I say but... brilliant. If you want to create new markets, this is the way to do it.

Can cell phone end poverty?: It can and is already doing so.

Wakoopa: The last.fm of software. What about the last.fm for real issues?
