Another Sweet Website Idea I Just Had.

So this would basically be like a forum, right? An internet forum. A web forum, only it would be staffed up with clever experts. Or maybe not "staffed up," more, "membered up" - we're looking at the business model where a ton of people volunteer their tireless efforts on an unpaid basis, just to make a great idea work. That's the new web paradigm! And this site would soon establish its reputation as a place where people can come in off the internet to google things. Or rather, wait - not to Google them. Google them is the wrong term. They would come to the site to find stuff out. Instead of Google-ing for answers, they would come to this forum. And all of the people there, the experts there would answer their questions and queries with lies.

It would just be kind of the whole goal of the site to give the looker-upper just the most utterly outlandish yet convincing lies.

But that would be the whole point of the site, though! So, most people would kind of know what they were getting, going in. It wouldn't really be a case of deception, or of people being fooled "per se," because they'd know going in. But how it would work is, maybe, they'd come in anyway. Because their lives would be so empty that maybe they'd rather hear a convincing lie than to deal with the truth.

I've heard that sometimes happens.

Anyway, that's another idea I just had. Holy cow, when am I going to start taking action on some of these!
