Easy to do list

Link: http://teuxdeux.com/

Awesome factor:
Once every while you stumble upon a site and think by yourself: “I can’t find anything that’s wrong with it.” I’m not saying this is one of them, I just can’t find anything I’d like to improve.

Uniqueness:
There are more todo lists on the interwebs, many more. This is the nicest. You may call it the Google of todo lists.

Show me the euros:
From their website: “Expect a premium version in the near future, but this TeuxDeux, in all its minimalistic glory, is now and will always be free. (We do, however, accept cookie donations for our daily studio Cookie O’clock!)”

Further thoughts:
Would it be cool if you could integrate teuxdeux in your own website?

Qfly.nl

Link: www.qfly.nl

Awesome factor:
This is a site where you can say: “I have x euros to spend on a ticket, I want to go in this period, show me all the places I can fly to.” This is just absolutely brilliant.

Uniqueness:
To our knowledge this is the only site that looks at buying tickets from that perspective. We love it.

Show me the euros:
You have to watch ads while qfly searches all the tickets for you. We don’t mind since it’s such a cool service.

Further thoughts:
Ok. Sometimes, we feel a bit guilty for flying somewhere instead of taking the train; thus burning tons of non-replaceable fossil fuel. It’s such an easy choice though since it’s the fastest way of getting there and also by far the cheapest. Why planes are so much cheaper than trains is one of those things we will probably never understand.

Purpose:
About a year ago I wanted a new subscription plan, but the Dutch market was so opaque I couldn’t make head or tails from it. I decided to introduce some clarity.
From this effort the site grew to encompass about 85% of the market. The site analyses a visitor’s phone bill. Based on this information the site then calculates which subscription plan best matches the calling behaviour of the visitor.

Uniqueness:
We also go further where others stop. Each and every detail is important. Whom do you call most often? To which networks? Do you usually call in the evening or on weekends? Do you typically make long or short calls?

In addition to this attention for detail the visitor receives an in depth analysis of his or her calling behaviour, giving them the insights they sorely lack at the moment.

Money:
We plan to make money the same way Google does. As we know which plan matches best with the visitor we can display highly relevant ads.

Statistics:
Currently we compare 674 plans. We have calculated the costs of nearly 600,000 phone calls. On average one can save 40 to 50 percent per month if a fitting plan would be picked.

who's going to get coffee?

who's going to get coffee?

Purpose:
You can create a group of people from which to randomly generate a victim (that has to get coffee, or something else). The group is always accessible through your own url http://getcoffee.at/yourgroupname

Why is it unique / better than the rest?
There are other websites where you can randomly pick a person, but you have to retype all the names each times you need a victim (or winner).

How will you make money out of it?
Nespresso, Douwe Egberts, Starbucks, Illy or Coffee Company can advertise in a very subtle way.

What are the facts/statistics?
There are currently 545 groups created, at Innovation Factory it is used every day.
