Industries Ripe For Disruption?
callmeed: Insurance industry: I have a close friend in the industry and he says there are tons of ways to improve the application, binder, and other processes.Online learning: Large edu and enterprise players like Blackboard and Saba are due for a disruption IMO (I think the ball is already rolling on this). Schools and enterprises don't want to keep paying huge licensing and infrastructure fees, and students should be able earn an online degree from a combination of online courses (from multiple schools).Online classifieds: I know this has been discussed here before, but I'm of the opinion that craigslist is due for a disruption of some sort.Car buying and financing: I just bought a car for my wife. Even though you can apply for financing online, the entire process was a total pain. There needs to be a "TicketStumbler for cars" that includes a financing and insurance option. I should be able to apply for traditional financing as well as peer-to-peer (ala prosper.com) financing all in one swoop. It should pull listings from classifieds, dealer inventories, auto trader, etc.
