Website Idea

[Matt_]

Would like your opinion on a website idea I have.

Thinking of buiding a website that will allow you to browse items (recipes, entrees, etc.) from your favorite:

• Recipe sites (allrecipes, FoodTV, etc.)
• Restaurant sites (Outback, Applebee's, etc.)

And, while browsing, allow a simple means of submitting the item's (recipe, entree, etc.) nutritional value (calories, carbs, etc.) directly to your favorite calorie counter for fast/accurate counting:

• FitDay
• MyDailyPlate
• CaloriesPerHour
• Etc.

Does this solve a problem you have today?

Would you find this incredibly useful?

Would you pay for the application?

Should I do it?

I don't know if I'd use it or not - it would depend on how easy it was to use. I will say this:

Scraping content from a website and compiling it into another is a violation of copyright. If you're going to be using content that belongs to someone else, you'd better make sure you get their permission before you wind up getting sued and shut down. And that goes triple if you decide to charge for it.
