I have an idea, but should I act on it??
A friend/co-worker just left our company to work in Iraq for one of the contracted companies that supply services to the military. He has been emailing everyone with updates and pictures telling every one his opinion (far right from center) about the war. He primarily talks about the troops and people (Americans so far) that he has encountered and how it's motivated and inspired him.
The idea was to create a blog to allow him and other American civilians in Iraq, some of whom also worked with me, to post their opinions and pictures for the world to view and comment on. We've seen and heard pictures from the US military and from the somewhat skewed and overly exaggerated media. This blog would provide the average everyday (albeit ex-military) person to describe and show the US and the rest of the world what they see.
I would look into how we can generate money from the site and possibly donate it to some good cause. The real reason behind the idea is to allow me to work on a project and see if I can create a site that generates money with little to no effort form me. I am also curious on how the public would react on such a hot topic and see if political vs. personal sites generate more traffic (I would use my site, this site, as the reference of a personal site). In the end it would be good experience.
hmmmmm.....
