I heard that the free dating website Plenty of Fish brings in 3 million dollars in advertising revenue per year, and I thought it would be interesting to make a more techno-savvy approach to personal questionnaires. I had the idea of letting people tag themselves, and then presenting a taglist ala del.icio.us. Then I had the idea of an interactive body type diagram, using the outline of a person (a curve) that could be manipulated, and clothing templates that would conform to the contours of the outlined body. This could be fun and could bring in some ad revenue from clothing sites.

I then realized that I could define a parametric space from a small set of obtained body images. This is more complex, and there has been research in this area.

I like that the first proposal is simple and abstractly oriented.
