Very off topic, and I am sure someone has mentioned it before, but what do you guys think of the idea of BHW members starting their own search engine?
I am confident there are some very good programmers here at BHW.
Sure it would be a massive project, and would need funding but with with the amount of members there are imagine the following:
BHW moderators create an escrow account or a social crowdfunding account.
Everyone (who can) on BHW donates $5 to the pool (which would be under the control of two trusted longtime BHW moderators)
With 250,000 members, assume half of them contribute at least $5 would mean a pot of $625,000 as seed capital.
Then BHW evaluates programmers, come up with a scope of work and then a second round of funding for marketing and maybe even some free marketing by members too?
Its time to upserp Google, and with another major search engine BHW could have an alternative means of income, of which profits could be given between BHW and the members who contributed seed capital. (Havent figured out how to montize this but maybe CPA offers or something.).
I would be one of the first to put my money where my mouth is.......
