In order to have a business idea for Don, I could cannibalize the bit from the cut section of Bangalored when they were joking around about spy software that would report back what songs people were listening to on their iPods during which activities.
In that book, it's raised as a joke and then Jed starts going with it, to Stella's disgust. What I could do is, instead of spyware, have it work on the Twitter model where you opt in. In fact, let's say it's a plugin that works with Twitter. When you send a message on Twitter saying what you're doing, it pings your iPod to find out what you're listening to at that moment, and matches them.
Almost too realistic!
