Potential Fasttrack Idea (Internet Filters)

[Joecoollopez]

Hey guys, first time poster here. Instead of the standard hellos I decided to pass on an idea I had after observing the serious problems with internet filter programs.

Back in highschool all I had to do in order to bypass the internet filter was enter the IP address of the website I wanted instead of the standard url. That was incredibly easy to do. Then, I got a job at a major company, and all it takes to bypass the commercially bought filter here is by changing the url from HTTP:// to HTTPS://

Ta-dah. You're in.

I found out how to do this from a forum post on the website of the company which detailed this problem. The post was made over a year ago.

The company knew about this problem and just let it go.

I'm thinking if someone made an effective internet filter that wasn't this easy to bypass and they actually listened to customer complaints, they could beat the hell out of the competition.

This meets all 5 of the requirements for a fasttrack business:

1) Need: Anyone who has worked at a major company knows how serious they are about wasting time on the internet. Its slows productivity by a massive amount.

2) Entry: The average slowlaner won't go through the trouble of creating a program and marketing it to major companies, so no worries about market saturation there.

3) Control: You have total control over the process of product creation and marketing it. No worries about affiliates being cut off or anything.

4) Scale: You can sell the program through e-commerce and major retailers, and you can build a website to market worldwide.

5) Time: Once you have completed the program and marketed it properly, you can dick around on the internet like I'm doing now while it makes money.

The reason I'm passing this idea on is because I lack the financial means as well as the business knowledge to bring this idea to fruition. I figure one of you can put it to good use. I will instead use a second business idea that I feel confident I can bring to the market. I can then use that experience to move onto bigger and better ideas such as this one.


I'd better get back to work before I get fired.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.
