For my IST 195 class we were challenged with the idea of starting an entrepreneurial idea. At first this caught me at a complete standstill. I'm definitely not the most business savvy and an idea seemed as if it would never come. I began to think of all the things I wished was available that weren't. Of course I thought of devices such as a beeper when meter maids were near so you'd never get a ticket; radar when an attractive individual came in close proximities; a i-pod sensor that would make my i-pod turn off once I fell asleep. Then it came to me, what did I love almost as much as I loved food. (If you knew me you'd know I can eat ALL day) The answer was fashion.
Have you ever went into a store and found the perfect pair of jeans or a fabulous dress but couldn't find anything to go with it? I know the feeling. The pain of having the idea in your mind, but not being able to finish the outfit could be stressful, which brings me to the idea of an app that allows you to take picture of a pair of shoes, dress etc. and it would suggest items that would go perfectly with it. The app would be available for all smart phones such as the Blackberry, iPhone or Android.
This idea went perfectly with the lesson of the week, which was the evolution of the WWW. My idea goes perfectly with the advancement of the internet because it uses it directly. Social media is a way that everyone connects and communicates in the age of the smart phone. My app would be directly intertwined with all of that. Also I would use twitter to promote my new product by creating new trending topics all my followers could see.
Hopefully as the weeks go on my idea will advance further. Look out CUSE a new fashion app is on its way.
