Don't think it's been done

So how about websites that you stumble across that are just stunningly pointless and so simple that you wish you had thought of it

So to start the thread rolling I give you plane journey lavatory self portraits

Simple and yet brilliant

Let's see your entries

Me and my mate were actually going to try and start up our own little justeat style website, we were going to scan menus and load them onto the website give our own reviews and have a section for other people to leave reviews as well.

Just eat came out about 2 months and scuppered our plans.

I still think it would be nice on just eat and them kinds of sites if they actually scanned the menu so you could see it

Google. Obvious, really.

 

Google isn't pointless :P

 

 

Oh yeah. I may have misunderstood the brief slightly.

The infinite cat project.  It started off as a picture of a cat (called Frankie) looking at a flower.  Then the same person uploaded a picture of Frankie looking at a picture of Frankie looking at a flower.  Then somebody sent a picture of their cat (Poozy) looking at a picture of Frankie looking at a picture of a flower.

Repeat ad infinitum and you've got yourself a website. They are over 1750 cats now.

It's also interesting to see the evolution of people's computers.  The early photos are all of ancient CRT monitors, now it's iPads and Laptops.

I don't wish I thought of Facebook, but...

...there was another computer science student in his dorm at a university in Massachusetts in late 2003 who was hacking up a social network in PHP.

(mine was somewhat closer in vision to Google+).

Just sayin'...
