Once again, we need your help with the next instalment of our Magazine 2.0 Experiment.

You might be aware that I write Anthill’s Bi-Goodness column – a tongue-in-cheek look at unusual, funny and often ill-conceived inventions and business ideas.

In the spirit of Mag 2.0, we’re keen to hear about any inventions or business ideas that you think are truly out there.

They could be ideas you’ve had, ideas described to you by friends or family members or simply ideas that you read about or discovered randomly that made you giggle or furrowed your brow. Please post anything that springs to mind in the comments below, or by email to submissions [at] australiananthill [dot] com.

I’m intending to write about the best ones (with attribution to you, including your company/URL) in our December/January edition – perfect reading entertainment for our subscribers while they relax on the beach over summer.

Can’t wait to read your suggestions.

    Banks and retail businesses could place a chart on their front door, showing the times when they are the busiest. That would allow some customers to choose the best time to shop, when they would receive the most attention and the quickest service. The smoothing out of traffic could help with staffing. Everybody wins!

    I designed a product called GripSox. They are anklet socks with a rubberised grip sole. Initially designed for the pilates & yoga markets, they are now also eagerly sought as a falls prevention aid in hospitals, aged care centres and for use around the home. This 100% Australian owned and designed product is now sold world wide. Simple ideas are often the best! Check them out at http://www.gripsox.com

    I just had to laugh when I saw this one. A gadget I had to have and install. If the shower water is cold a blue LED light shines through the water. If the shower water is warm enough it would glow red. Great for those cold winters mornings when I am still half asleep and it is dark.

9 things a 9 month-old can teach you about online marketing [VIDEO]

This morning, I sat down with my 9-month old son, Julian, to feed him breakfast. This is one of the jobs allocated to me as a first-time, new father. Remembering the arduous steps required to complete yesterday morning’s meal (and the day before that), and contemplating how bizarre it is that I must work so hard to provide him something that will make him stronger and healthier and happier, I began to think about online marketing. Yes, the brain works in mysterious ways. (And I am kind of sleep deprived.)
