Idea #11: Itstory

Itstory (pronounced as It’s Story) is the single largest complication and archive of the history of all corporations and institutions that have existed in the last 110 years (from 1900 to 2010). I know what you are thinking. The idea is a dud because such information already exists in Wikipedia and other encyclopaedias. I agree that its there but what they have is a brief overview, summary of companies and not the details.

Itstory will offer unprecedented levels of details and information about every single corporation that has recorded information.

1. How the company came into being?
2. Major milestones
3. All interviews and articles every published about the company in Media
4. TV interviews, Videos, Ads from that company
5. Financial trends and Stock positions
6. A good summary of why the company failed (if it has failed)
7. What are the people involved in those company now doing
8. Rich personal history about the key people of the corporation

This could even be made into comic books or part of school syllabus for children to learn from.
In a nutshell and borrowing from Google’s tag line, Itstory will be,

“Organising the World’s Corporate Information in the most sensible, effective and useful format”
