Fastlane to Millions Reality Apprentice Wanted!!!!

[8 SNAKE]

a) mixedbag.com - a membership site, that builds a community of diverse groups that suit it's members desire. A mixture of forums, geographical groups with online exposure/meetings, and internal free ads to promote your group to others. i.e. chubs, dominatrix, etc... This is not intended to be utilized in a sexual manner. People actually live this way, not just a temporary risqué' moment. There is a whole world of people out there that live strange lifestyles and this is where they can find each other. A broad, yet narrow niche to be capitalized on. I don't lead this lifestyle, so I'm not sure about competition, but I have never heard of anything exactly like it. Correct me if I am wrong.

Matt,

Great ideas that you're coming up with! With regard to mixedbag, how would it differentiate from sites like www.meetup.com?

A web-based "community" that focuses on the practice of alternative (or new) construction methods and living an increasingly efficient lifestyle. There are many sites on the web that touch on various aspects of this idea, but they're all segmented and cumbersome to sift through. By bringing everything together and creating the feel of an online community, this site can grow as this movement continues to expand.

I like it. There is lots of space for a Digg style aggregation site around a lot of topics.

Here is a great article that might juggle some great ideas out of you guys , I found this so funny yet true because i get all my ideas in the shower or driving and no were else lol

Top Ten Places to Get a Good Idea
1. Taking a shower or bath. Psychologists believe water has a mentally cleansing quality.
2. Driving (alone). The spatial orientation while listening to monotonous sounds really kicks in the creativity after 30 minutes.
3. Sitting on the toilet. Some 90 percent of men responded favorably to this venue. "I think men and women have different views of the toilet," Thompson says.
4. Falling asleep or waking up. The "laconic state" of pre- or post-sleep is ripe for ideas, thoughts and worries to float around in your head. The left or analytical side of the brain cuts out and the right side takes over, Thompson says.
5. Boring meetings. Minds wander to more creative thoughts in sessions that are too long, where too much info is dumped on attendees, where not enough dialogue is created.
6. "Fun" reading. Read things that have nothing to do with your work. Read fiction, or flip backward through magazines.
7. Exercise. A walk or jog, or a trip to the gym becomes a rote, mindless task that allows the mind to wander to more creative things.
8. Waking up in the middle of the night. Just be prepared to write ideas down or hit the office to get them onto the PC; trusting such thoughts at such times to memory usually fails. "There's the great advantage to the home office," Thompson admits.
9. Listening to a religious sermon. Autopilot (so to speak) kicks in, the listener relaxes and the mind wanders. Just don't break out your PDA and start taking notes.
10. Cutting the grass. A rote, monotonous chore with a short duration and completion at the end of the project helps the mind relax.

Matt,

Never seen it before....I'll have to dig into it a bit when I have more time, but from the 30 seconds I did look at it, it doesn't seem like it has ongoing community group involvment. I get the impression it's a 'daytimer' for everyone to integrate with. I need to check it out further before I say more. Thanks for the link!

On a side note, what keeps people coming back to the site after they meet up with their group for the first time? Other than a different interest?

I think that's the key difference between your idea and meetup. Your idea is centered around an online community while meetup provides people with contact info for the groups that they seek.

You keep coming back because all the meetings are scheduled on the site.

UPDATE:

Last night, our journey took a major and exciting step forward! The core group for this apprentice project has now been formed and I'd like to congratulate everyone who has participated in this process. Selecting the core group was not an easy decision to make, but I am very excited about the future of this organization.

Stay tuned folks, the show's about to get started! :fastlane:

 

[Redshft]

Hopefully two individuals are about to merge into the fastlane and one individual will pick up even more speed!

This guys totally down!

Unfortunately, you are a couple months too late, the core group is already established. Although, there is always a possibility for a part 2!!

When it goes big, I hope MJ will remember his first 1000 members. ...Or at least the first 666. ;-D

3 months now, and no part 2 of 6.0's success story either.

I was very intrigued by this and wanted to participate but didn't have the time to dedicate ....
