I think we’ve all been looking in the wrong places for the best and coolest new web app or web service.

Those of us who fear the lingering influence of the Techmeme, RSSMeme, Google Sharing, Digg, Techcrunch, etc. effects are looking for new ideas, fresh content, and wanting to discover the best new content out there.

In the interest of smashing the walls of the virtual echo chamber, I think it’s time for a brand new app. It’s time to throw out the old standards and really, really try something new.

Enter: Rookiememe

Rookiememe will be a simple but effective Web app that is focused on finding new, fresh ideas by looking for… new and fresh blogs.

Rookiememe will have the following general characteristics:

In order to qualify for a spot on Rookiememe, you:

  1. Must have a domain less than two months old, preferably buried in the Google “sandbox” (the one that’s not supposed to exist)
  2. Must never have been linked to
  3. As per the above, it must have a Technorati rating of zero.
  4. It must not link out to anything that’s been on Techmeme within the past month
  5. It must be written in proper English and not obviously be culled together to sell GoogleAds or other online advertising
  6. In fact, it can’t be allowed to have any advertising on it at all

And that’s just the start. Just imagine how new and different this content will be!

OH, and it would not have a leaderboard, because anything that becomes popular will immediately be removed from Rookiememe.

What do you think? Is this a potential goldmine or what?
