Firebase and their data sync api's are really great. You could really build a lot of things if you're creative.

This idea would naturally develop into personally curated site based on your voting preferences, i.e. Amazon for news.


Korea's biggest search engine(www.naver.com) is basically like this. they created a walled garden that gives you practically everything. These portal type sites disincentivize individual sites from creating contents, because the search engine directs the traffic into their own services(Q&A, blog, etc.).


In countries which their language is based in Chinese, there's a whole branch of theory on how different names affect people's lives. The meaning and sound of each characters and even how many strokes it take to write each character are taken into account.


This is also the case with Hebrew (Jewish) and Gurmukhi (Sikh) names.

Jews believe Hebrew is a Holy Language (loshn-koydesh). All the names of characters in the Old Testament describe their role in the story. For instance, my name, ‘shmu-el’ (Samuel) is short for ‘shma Elokim’, which means ’listening to the Word of G-d’. The Biblical character Samuel was a prophet, hence the name.

Sikhs also believe that their language, Gurmukhi, is a sacred language. It is believed that uttering sounds in a certain order, and repeating those, has an effect on your consciousness. This is called Nada Yoga. A Sikh name is chosen using vedic astrology, and it is descriptive of the challenges you’ll face in your life. Listening to your name and repeating it often is said to help you in realizing your destiny.


I feel this is horribly close to some big data magic.
