I have a nice idea for a site which plugs into the cheeky, user-centric, ‘jackass’, travel-orientated culture. With a cool strong ethical side to it, and seriously sponsoring fun globally, with web 2.0 features such as ‘degrees of separation’ and rating individuals’ activity.
The twist is the dry British sense of humour so the ‘jackass’ is more witty and dry and less slapstick, so the idea is to put really obscure trivial, silly things up, like the guy who did a funny dance in a different places around the world but even more so. So this will be a place to upload all those silly holiday anecdotes, and have them rated, and then the most popular rise to the top of the pile digg style. For example when I was in Brasilia getting to talk to the lady who used to do the nails for the mum of the best footballer in the world, Kaka, would go up - be rated by the site - and by other users. You get the drift.
Of course because I would be the creator/gringo in charge, my sense of humour would be central to the site, with first and foremost me rating submissions by travellers from around the globe, though also allowing site users to do the same. Hence the site name: Challenge Gringo!
OK, enough. I have registered the domain name. Anyone interested should try to keep a straight face and bump into me sometime.
One to do when I have another spare moment.
