If we WERE supposed to post a meganiche...

I'm thinking a site dedicated to people posting pictures of amish lifestyle. It sounds weird, but to be completely honest, every thing I thought of before this idea, I checked on google and they all already exist. So this was the first meganiche idea that doesn't already exist. Of lots of ideas.

There are a lot of meganiche sites out there.

MegaNiche

I forgot about the MegaNiche, too!

I think an interesting topic would be about minimizing for new creation such as putting mp3 and cell phone together. I think it would be interesting to find out what other people wish could funiction as one. Maybe a hat with a comb inside that can fix your hair, so no more hat hair or using the hat to hide your messy hair.

Oops

Oops, we post our MegaNiche! here?

Well, for my MegaNiche!(tm) I would propose having a forum where people like to discuss every little detail and change in the Fender Stratocaster guitar. Particularly useful for people who are creating replicas (because of the absurd prices for vintage guitars, and "authentic" Fender "replicas") or who are looking into buying vintage guitars and need to know every single detail (and actually care about, and are interested in discussing) these varations, changes, measurements, etc. All of this would be added to an archive. As far as I know, lots of information is spread out, and lots of forums are out there, but nothing to the extent of what I propose. Or have exactly what I'm looking for. Preferably this would be information up to about 1980 or so. That would keep out the flood of info on the the 3000 or whatever useless variations of the Fender Strat.

MY IDEA FOR THE NEXT BIG MEGA NITCH

My idea for a nitch is sort of like e-cards or email postcards you send to people from a Web site. But these are not cordial greetings. These are “Fuck You Postcards.” Animated messages or e-postcards you send to people when you’re pissed at them. There would be a variety of images you could pick from with pre-written messages you could add. There is always the option of writing your own message.
The cards could be sent to emails or posted on the comment section on a MySpace page or a blog.
It could be for fun, sarcasm or just plain nastiness.

meganiche

Meganiche to me is like another very popular web site that people would normally go or access with. They are a little different than other web because they are focusing on housing and business also. Competition is there for Meganiche because there are many popular sites who also look very similar. Based on the article, I have a thought that Do we really use it? because there are already web site existed now like HowardForums and Gaia,CollarMe, LifeTips, and SwapperNet and even more. People have their own reliable web site to go to everyday, so how many people would trust the new meganiche and use it
