The amazing thing about the internet is that EVERYONE is talking all of the time
I need to stop talking so much.

Next time you have a conversation, actively listen, it's harder than you think because our brains are trained to share. There's a share button on everything these days. I drink an iced latte and wonder why there isn't a share button on it so all my friends know how awesome it is. 

 
People also have problems (who knew?).
 
Which means that people are constantly sharing their problems online. There you go I just gave you an infinite crowdsourced way to come up with business ideas!
 
8 Ways listen better on the internet.
 
1. Twitter search "I wish.."
Here's two I found quickly:  
"I wish Snapchat would tell you if someone sent to just you or to everyone... "
and
"I wish there was an app to find people in your pictures so you don't have too look through them all.. " (whatever that means)
 
2. Use Ask Reddit to poll people on what website frustrates them most online.
 
3. Quora question "What product would you pay for right now?"
 
4. Look at Medium's page where people post "Products I wish existed online"
 
5. Use Angies list to find negative complaints from people in the area around a specific local service.

6. Get quick user feedback from User Testing  (this week's Gold)

7. Try Google Trends to see what's hot that people are searching for. (can be used for timely articles as well)

8. HARO is amazing for finding what PR people are looking for in stories.


Please tell me about a problem you are having or if I can help you build you're art, I promise I'll listen :)
