After seeing yet another somethingVille billboard along US101, the thought struck me.. Why hasn’t Zynga catered to the goth/vampire/werewolf market? How about CemeteryVille where you come out at night and play your character (whether ghost, goblin, vampire or teenager trying to spark in your convertible after the prom). You can get points for sucking the most blood, spend your hardbought credits to buy garlic or a silver bullet.
Perhaps there’s only so many people this would appeal to, but as someone who’s never played an anythingVille game, I know I’ll enjoy the updates of my friends showing up on the Wall (Mr. Gorbachev tear down this Facebook Wall!)
This one should be a business… one that offers a web service/software app which is all about the opposite of “remind me.”
So the nagme system would allow you to enter websites, search terms, time amounts, times of day, etc. which trigger the system to hit you with a pop-up or warning asking “are you SURE you want to be doing this?”, giving you a chance to stop short of a behavior you’re trying to change.
Whether it’s surfing to those meaningless websites, searching for random wastes of time, or spending 5 hours sorting through your junk mail folder – however you waste time, you can have the system remind you periodically that you asked yourself not to do that anymore.
Sort of anti-del.icio.us
