Everyone has stuff. Stuff is hard to organize. The popular advice, and a good one, is to get rid of stuff.
But what do you do if you just can't part with a helmet-shaped salad bowl that you inherited from aunt Agatha, and that is too big to fit into your bachelor kitchennette? Would you turn it upside-down and use it as a lamp shade? What if your house was flooded a week before your baby was born and you lost your crib? Would you put the baby into a laundry basket? (Smallprint: babies are not stuff. Just using babies to illustrate the point.)
Startup Idea:
Create a forum-like website where people post a challenge and other people come up with solutions. Could be reward-driven to order to be attractive.
Take it further:
Show the most common places for regular items, like keys or childrens' artwork.
Show the most interesting, or unusual places for such items.
If you get traffic, the owners of house organizing blogs will put up links to their blogs. So instead of using google, people will search your site (or google your site).
The goal is to allow people to get answers to their specific problems without spending hours researching and customizing. And to allow those that are good problem solvers and enjoy creative thinking to help someone else with their problem.
