I just took my car to the shop. It went in for an inspection and somehow ended up with a "cracked cylynder or a blown gasket". There's a gap of services that I would have gladly paid for to figure out exactly what happened and if I could take legal action against the place I brought the car too.

I wish I could sell my services a la cart as easily as the mechanics do it. I am sure there are a lot of custom applications people would be willing to pay for if it made what they do easier.

One example of a service a guy I just met provides.... buy a house at foreclosure, fix it up, and flip it. Easy enough. You can see the value he's adding.

What we need is a framework of documentation and marketing for well defined, value added information services. They can't be too general.. The automotive place I went to has a slogan on the business cards that says Specializing in Foreign and Domestic cars. Are there any other type of cars? Am I missing something or is that all cars?

Anyway, I'm thinking of an XML type RSS feed. I'm thinking that this feed creates objects that attach to similar objects. I'm thinking that these similar objects define a "niche market category". Depending on the scope of a prospect's problem, the framework could team up several independants offering the same services.

For instance: Role: Oracle DBA Service Level Agreement: between the hours of 8pm and 7am. Compensation: By service call or service response. Also by project milestone or small project request fulfillent.

One day, people will have sophisticated enough needs in what they are doing, striving to make an extra buck outside of their 9-5 jobs to request extra services from value added agents to leverage a moonlighting opportunity that they can't quite handle on their own.
