Over at the IFS office, they sub lease a few spaces to other people. I’m one of them. In return for a desk, I write the blogs and do some SEO work for IFS and the other people in here. There’s always a flurry of ideas going on and we all feed off each others energy. It’s great for brainstorming and picking each others ideas apart.

So, when the Flicks and Food website became available, we all discussed whether someone should grab it and what could be done with it. Really, we were most interested in acquiring it so we could eat out and write off our lunches as a business expense… We did think it may be interesting to get it and see what we could do with it. It had been owned by Robert, a guy I shared space with at my last gig and who had also worked with Dean at Ideagin. After much deliberation, it was bought and we all started eating out and taking pictures to upload to the site. I was put in charge of moving stuff around and making it more user friendly. Marie and I discussed how to streamline the site, getting rid of all the superfluous stuff that we weren’t interested in keeping up on. Whenever anyone actually eats out, it’s my job to remind them to take photos.

During our weekly meeting yesterday, when we were wondering what other potential the site has, such as should it be just a San Antonio site, how do we make money from it, does anyone else log on, etc, we had the idea that maybe it should be run through the Idea Finishing School. I mean, why not? It’s a start-up. It’s technology. It has the potential to make money. It would be a great case study for us. We could then use it as the showpiece that we follow every week without worrying about infringing on another startups privacy. When talking about IFS students on the blog, I worry about revealing too much about a patent, or saying something before they’re ready to release that information. This way, we can really show people what’s going on inside the Idea Finishing School without messing some potential future Steve Jobs up. I know it’s nepotism, since we’re all here, but it’s a win-win for me! Plus, I don’t have to drive anywhere…

So, everybody say welcome to the newest IFS student, Flicks and Food. While you’re saying hi, run on over the the Flicks and Food site and check it out. There’s some interesting reviews, and we’ve made it super easy for you to submit you own review.
