Surely this has been done before, and there are likely services that will take itemize and take pictures of the everything in the house.
This could be a web app with decent functionality (user account, upload item pics, add tags to pics, track the value of items, upload copy of the insurance policy, potentially share the itemized list with insurer or cut a CD and mail to document a claim). While the functionality covers a few areas, it is limited and wouldn't threaten unending feature creep.
Costs would be development, marketing, and hosting. Monetization would be ad serving and potentially a fee to cut a CD/DVD.
Common mistakes
One common mistake homeowners make: Failing to record the contents of their home.
"One of the first things you need to do is make sure you keep track of all of the things you have in your home of value. You should keep lists, take pictures, do videos, because when there's a claim, the insurance company is going to want to see what it is in fact you're claiming for. A lot of people don't do that," he said.
Also, "keep the receipts for expensive items," he said. "That makes the whole process with the insurance company easier and a lot of people don't do that as well."
January 22, 2007:
unloseit.com charges to store serial numbers. Finders can enter serial numbers and claim rewards. "You can register any item which has a serial number."
=======================================

...
Also, for those who have evacuated, policies often have coverage for reimbursement of living expenses after the home is left; find out if yours does, and keep the receipts of those expenses. Read more advice at the Insurance Information Institute's Web site.
If possible, Long recommends homeowners grab their insurance policy and related documents before evacuating in order to easily communicate with the insurer. And keep careful and detailed records on the various losses you've suffered, he added.

Rundles Wrap-up
By Jeff Rundles
My sister, a prosecuting attorney in New Hampshire, told me a story the other day that got me thinking about timing in life, and about goals.
She has been talking for years about joining a private law firm because she believes she might make more money than she does as an elected official, and she was discussing a new job with a local firm when her contact there told her she was overqualified for the attorney openings they had at the moment. They told her: Check back later.
...
Where once I would have offered resume advice or given up a few names of connected people I know or even just talked up the relative virtues of one company or another, I am now adamant: Don’t go to work for a company.
Start a company. Partner with a friend and launch a venture. Hire on as an arms’-length consultant, or anything else, but don’t go to work for anybody else.
Companies don’t care about people, in spite of plenty of rhetoric to the contrary; they care about money, period.
There’s nothing inherently wrong with that, but any employee has to remember that, to a company — you might as well be so much aluminum, advertising space or computer spare parts.
And this attitude, quite prevalent in the smallest of organizations, just magnifies exponentially in direct proportion to the size of the organization. One blip on the financial radar, and 10 percent of the workforce (re: the people) are gone in an effort to "strengthen" the organization. People — real living, breathing human beings — have become corporate liabilities.
I have quite recently learned a valuable lesson: Come what may — failure, success or muddling through — if you work for yourself you’ll never be too inexperienced, never overqualified for a position, and always appreciated. Win, lose or draw, the most important asset in your own business will always be you.

* Staffing: Strategically determining, recruiting and hiring the people to help operate your business.
* Basic Workplace Policies: Orienting your staff on policies and procedures such as schedules, safety and security.
* Compensation & Benefits: The salary and company services that ensure your staff stays with
you and strengthens their knowledge and experience to help your company grow.
* Regulatory Issues: This includes what your company must do to stay in compliance with the ever-increasing number of federal, state/province and local regulations.

Taeo has been featured three consecutive times since 2004 on Deloitte Technology’s list of 500 fastest growing companies. It also made it to the Baseline Magazine’s list of 50 Fastest-Growing Software Companies for 2006.
However, in Q1 2007, Taleo posted a small profit of $0.9 million translating into an earning of $0.04 per share. In the corresponding quarter last year, the company had incurred a loss of $0.5 million. 2006 revenues are at $97 Million, and they have 1000 customers, touching 60 Million candidates worldwide.

For the three months ended March 31, SuccessFactors said losses widened to $12.6M from $7.6M in the comparable period of 2006. The company expects to incur additional losses for the foreseeable future. In the same period, SuccessFactors' sales grew to $12.4M, from $6.3M in the prior year. Ironically, SuccessFactors said its independent public accounting firm noted material weaknesses in the company's internal control over HR related issues like stock-based compensation, deferred commissions. The company said the firm also commented on the company's lack of accounting policies and process narratives and the lack of segregation of duties. SuccessFactors said it is taking steps to correct the weaknesses.
SuccessFactors, a profitable five-year-old startup in San Mateo, Calif., takes in an estimated $100 million in annual revenue by selling a suite of simple Web-based tools that automate important but previously paper-driven management chores - performance reviews, succession planning, and compensation.
Ultimately the service helps to match employee skills with company objectives. North Carolina-based Quintiles, a pharmaceutical services firm with 17,000 employees, deployed SuccessFactors last year to better pair worker aptitudes with jobs; its annual employee churn rate subsequently fell by nearly a third.

Splunk is the IT Search Engine.
Can you imagine trying to find things on the Internet without a search engine? Now you can navigate the complexity of your data center with IT Search. Splunk is the IT Search engine that indexes and lets you search, navigate, alert and report on IT data from any application, server or network device. Securely access logs, configurations, scripts and code, message, traps and alerts, activity reports, stack traces and metrics across thousands of components, from one place, all in real time.
San Francisco-based Splunk has raised $25M in Series C led by Ignition Partners with return backers August Capital, JK&B Capital and Sevin Rosen Funds. Splunk is similar to Google for IT data. Splunk searches application, server and network data. It has plotting and SQL report capabilities to let geeks recognize patterns, find problems, and connect seemingly unrelated events.
In addition to search, Splunk is building a community. It indexes events that can be tagged and shared with the user community as a means of sharing knowledge about IT troubleshooting.

Open Source's Zenoss Boasts 500K Downloads + $11M Investment
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Buoyed by the recent $1B buyout of its open source brother MySQL, Open source network and systems management software firm Zenoss says it has crossed the 500K downloads threshold and his raised an $11M round. The investment was led by Grotech Capital, a leading venture firm with more than $1 billion under management. Existing investors Intersouth Partners, Boulder Ventures and the Maryland Department of Business and Economic Development also participated.
Erik Dahl launched Zenoss development in 2002 and in August 2005 founded Zenoss Inc. with Bill Karpovich. Zenoss provides corporate backing for the development of Zenoss Core, which is freely available to anyone to download and use without license fees. The firm offers paid support subscriptions and training services to generate revenue.
Zenoss competes with other pen source systems management products like GroundWork Open Source, Hyperic and Qlusters. How is Zenoss different? Says Bill Karpovich:
"Companies like GroundWork are similar to the Red Hat approach, where a company gathers up the pieces and puts support behind it. Our approach is we have always had the code and we are in control of its roadmap and indemnification. The Hyperic model is where a company comes from a commercial background and makes some of the code open source."

Splunk is the IT Search Engine.
Can you imagine trying to find things on the Internet without a search engine? Now you can navigate the complexity of your data center with IT Search. Splunk is the IT Search engine that indexes and lets you search, navigate, alert and report on IT data from any application, server or network device. Securely access logs, configurations, scripts and code, message, traps and alerts, activity reports, stack traces and metrics across thousands of components, from one place, all in real time.
San Francisco-based Splunk has raised $25M in Series C led by Ignition Partners with return backers August Capital, JK&B Capital and Sevin Rosen Funds. Splunk is similar to Google for IT data. Splunk searches application, server and network data. It has plotting and SQL report capabilities to let geeks recognize patterns, find problems, and connect seemingly unrelated events.
In addition to search, Splunk is building a community. It indexes events that can be tagged and shared with the user community as a means of sharing knowledge about IT troubleshooting.

Interesting how sharing with community is added to monitor/alert/report.

Open Source's Zenoss Boasts 500K Downloads + $11M Investment
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Buoyed by the recent $1B buyout of its open source brother MySQL, Open source network and systems management software firm Zenoss says it has crossed the 500K downloads threshold and his raised an $11M round. The investment was led by Grotech Capital, a leading venture firm with more than $1 billion under management. Existing investors Intersouth Partners, Boulder Ventures and the Maryland Department of Business and Economic Development also participated.
Erik Dahl launched Zenoss development in 2002 and in August 2005 founded Zenoss Inc. with Bill Karpovich. Zenoss provides corporate backing for the development of Zenoss Core, which is freely available to anyone to download and use without license fees. The firm offers paid support subscriptions and training services to generate revenue.
Zenoss competes with other pen source systems management products like GroundWork Open Source, Hyperic and Qlusters. How is Zenoss different? Says Bill Karpovich:
"Companies like GroundWork are similar to the Red Hat approach, where a company gathers up the pieces and puts support behind it. Our approach is we have always had the code and we are in control of its roadmap and indemnification. The Hyperic model is where a company comes from a commercial background and makes some of the code open source."

Rewrite Lame Application Implementations
LIU needs a rework. It is MSWindows based and at least needs to have paging. This would only be useful for showing ads to a few people.
