Call For Proposals 2009 » WhatAreMyOptions?

By MAHMOOD CHOUDHURY

Describe your idea:

There are now so many services available to us that finding the best one that meets our needs takes time. We could find it ourselves by chance, word of mouth, recommendation, advertisements etc.

People are looking to make their lives quicker, faster, cheap, expensive, value for money etc.

My idea enables people to contribute the many wide ranging alternatives available of a popular service.

This could be in areas such as health, travel, finance, social issues, education, community etc.

I could type in that I need a alternative school to place my child in and what are my best options within 5 miles ?

People would suggest best and alternatives options available to me.

What problem does it solve?:

The issue of monopoly – that there are many alternatives to a service. This could be options that are cheaper, quicker, faster, affordable, recommended, efficient, time saving etc.

It enables people to come together and share their recommendations of alternative options available to one another.

Also it gives people a choice knowing that if one route doesn’t work try these alternatives suggested by others.

Type of idea: A brand new project
