I have experience in programming and web design, and was thinking of some unique service on the web that people would be interested in. For example, a unique and interesting service would be [bit.ly...] , and that shortens URLs...to make them easier for people to go to.
This is just a service that I found interesting. It's really simple, too. Another unique service would be Twitter, which is a communication tool on the web to tell your friends and family what you are doing at the moment.
Another would be Mint.com, which gathers all of your financial information and analyzes it.
Another would be Yahoo Answers, where a community of great people answer each others questions based on their own experiences.
So what is a service on the web that hasn't been made yet, and YOU would like to see in the future?

Thanks for answering! Have a nice day!

I'm not sure I want them to know.

Wasn't tinyurl.com the first to do this, and this is a clone? (Apologies for poor understanding of Internet history if incorrect . . . )

If I (or may I say we) had the answer to that question, I think we'd be doing it, or someone already has, or it's in development somewhere . . .

I think the answer, though, lies in two facts about human nature, and they're not pretty ones.

If it's not about ME, it sucks.
Money talks.

Make a service about the user, and nothing but the user, and structure it so it makes them money with as little effort as possible, and you have a winner.

The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.

Take your inspiration from the past, and reapply it to the present. Don't limit yourself to what worked out in the past, but pay particular attention to the things which failed to 'catch on' or become profitable.
