Have You Heard of Springwise?

I've written before about how I'm a budding entrepreneur, but with being a mommy now it's hard to stay focused. I have a few small projects/meetings in the works that I believe will lead to some amazing opportunities, and of course you have to start somewhere. For me, that's where Springwise comes in.

I can't recall where I first heard of it, but it is a round-up of worldwide business ideas that is awesome for brainstorming and thinking up other profit centers. I get weekly updates from Springwise in my inbox, and the quick-hit snippets are easy to scroll through. When I'm in an idea rut or just want to stay inspired and in the know, I go through my old Springwise e-mails.

Here are some of my favorite ideas I've seen on Springwise:

•  A company that takes your CDs (free postage!) and converts them to mP3s that you can sell for profit

• A clothing shop for men that are tall, not big
• Mr. Love Bird can totally identify with this as he's tall and lean not BIG and tall, which proves a problem when shopping at big and tall stores/departments

• An app called Hollaback to stop street harassment
• I definitely need this as the cat calls on the streets of NYC are SO annoying! I mean, seriously, who comes onto a pregnant woman in sweats wearing a wedding ring?! Ughhhh!

• Reminding me of my obsession with "glamping", a company that sets up suburban camping in your backyard - all supplies included in the cost

Have any of my readers heard of Springwise or have another inspirational site to share?
