I felt the same way, but I knew they'd end up blowing up, as well. I had a Twitter account really early, and I didn't use it at all. Suddenly, it was the easiest way to get in touch with your favorite celebrities? All of them had some pull that would get people in. Pinterest? Girls love to look hip, crafty, and trendy, and scrapbooking fashion, recipes, and shite basically gives them a way to openly "share" their great taste. It's like crack. Instagram? iPhone camera with cheap filters, and it allows you to post stupid shite like selfies, food, and whatever else without it being weird because that's what it's made for. They're all just ways for people to get attention for whatever it is they're doing without committing to sharing everything like they do on Facebook.

Damn, I wish I'd gone through with half of the shitty ideas I've had that other people have done for millions of dollars later.

like your style. i have had so many ideas over the years too (i'm a developer) and bang my head when i see someone else capitalize on what seems to be the most trivial ideas.

dij; i think you're on to something. the smartfridge market is untapped mainly because no one is paying $4k for a stupid overpriced LG fridge with WiFi and shitty software.

no, you need to figure out a way to do this from a smartphone and a regular fridge.

i dont know what that looks like but i see it coming.

maybe something as dumb as a plastic template you roll out on each shelf of your fridge indicating placement of milk, etc. then later you can take a pic with your 'fridge app' of the inside of the fridge and based on a baseline of items in certain locations, you immediately get an 'inventory' of missing items.

i dont know..just talking shite out of my head but SOMEONE is going to find a way to make grocery shopping more efficient and i don't think its going to work if you have to spend $$$ on some stupid arse fridge with shitty firmware to make it happen.
