Evaluations

1. "Add an 'I'm NOT Feeling Lucky' button to Google
that would automatically take users to a random
webpage that would NOT be the topmost return for
their query. This option would complement the 'I'm
Feeling Lucky' button, giving the search process a
creative twist." - would this be popular? Would this
increase Google's revenue?

I think that it is a good idea. People will more often visit
sites that they usually not visit. It is a good advertisement
for sites with poor popularity. The main weakness is that
it might be not so popular. People mighy think that it is
just for advertisement.

2. "Introduce mugs and cups with special sensors that
would give a voice alert like 'This is your third coffee
today', 'Your coffee is getting cold', 'I am empty; refill
me if you want', and so on." - would these sell well at
Christmas?

This product might be really popular especially at
Christmas Time. It is such a good present and very
nice souvenir. I think the only weakness of this
product is that it can be sold only at Christmas times,
New year etc.

3. "Insist that, instead of giving extra money to people
to help pay for fuel bills, the UK Government gives
everyone a voucher with which they could purchase
a good quality sweater/pullover or blanket. This
would encourage people to think about putting their
central heating on - thus reducing the size of fuel bills
and carbon footprints alike." - would this work/be popular?

I don't think that it is a good idea. People anyway will need
fuel and a good quality sweater/pullover or blanket can't
be close substitutes for fuel. I don't think that people will
use less fuel because they have sweater.

4. Is this a product extension strategy: "Make all car
windshields out of photochromic glass that darkens to
a moderate sunglass tint when exposed to sunlight.
This innovation would improve driver comfort and
safety, especially when traveling into the blinding
glare of a rising or setting sun."

I think it is brilliant idea. Usually people use
sunglasses to protect their eyes from the blinding
glare of a rising or setting sun but it will be more
comfortable if cars have that kind of windshields.
I don't see any weaknesses. That is great idea.

5. "Create a website where people could submit
tunes or songs native to their country/culture
that are unlikely to have been heard by people
around the world. The site would be easy to use,
allowing people of any age to easily grasp the
concept of uploading content or even recording
it directly using the website" Is this a viable business
idea?

I don't think that it is a good business idea. There are
lots of weaknesses. First of all I don't think that a lot of
people will use this site. Also there are a lot of
competitors.

6. "Produce CDs that sit in the CD player of rental
cars so that, when a new driver gets in, the CD can
tell them about the car, the local area, driving laws,
etc. It could also feature advertising for local businesses.
" Would you invest in this product idea?

That will be a good idea. I think it will be really
useful for tourists so they will know everything
about new city, laws, local shops and restaurants.
The main weakness of this idea is that it can be
successfully sold only in famous cities and tourists
might prefer special booklets.
