Venture Idea Straight Outta the Year 2000

1. Create a Firefox extension that performs the exact some function as AbeVigodaStatus, but extensible to other people.

2. File for IPO.

3. Profit?

Unlikely. I'm sure that deep down inside, our darker desires want for a Firefox plugin that would let you know when one of your celeb's status has changed from "alive" to "dead". Abe Vigoda is only the tip of a very big iceberg.

The Blog of Death is a starting place, but I'm afraid it needs a better staff in order to be the definitive resource for the recently deceased: right now, it's just not quick enough to be considered a viable news source.

C'mon. Feeding Tube. The Pope. Stand-up comic Mitch Hedberg. When these people kick off, I wish to know about it. And with the Internet, I should be able to receive almost immediate notification.
