  1. Thanks for sharing your bug list Donovan! It's incredible how we have things in common that bug us (such as a lack of delivery services in most restaurants). The best part of this exercise is that you can really identify where unmet consumer needs lie. Gainesville2go.com and 2dollardelivery are two delivery services that came about from this unmet need and have grown significantly! You have a good deal of good "business" bugs but try to keep in mind the consumer application when possible.

    to see what unmet consumer needs I was able to identify as I wrote down what "bugged" me.

  3. Donovan,

    Thank you for sharing your bug list. By reading it, it seems that you and I did not write any similar bugs, but I can definitely relate to some of the things that you point out. Your bug that mainly relates to me is the earphone one. I try to go for a 3 mile jog twice a week. I wake up early in the morning (around 5:30 am) to do it. I'm usually listening to soccer news as I'm running, but I always face the problem of my earphone falling off when I start sweating! Back in the day I used to love the typical Walkman headphone since you didn't have to worry about this problem!

    Feel free to drop by my blog and read about my bug list: http://juansesoto.blogspot.com/2016/01/my-bug-list.html
