DailyBurn is great, but the one part of it I find difficult is the nutrition log. As the database is from USDA, it is very US-centric.

It would be good if DailyBurn could add support for more UK food items. If you could add the food databases from ASDA, Tesco, Sainsburys and Morrisons, it would make UK users very happy.

One thing that might be useful is that Tesco has a API you can use.

I (and I bet quite a few people) don't like the idea of giving my Twitter username and password to 3rd party websites for obvious reasons, so it would be good if the Boxee team could use the Twitter OAuth API (http://apiwiki.twitter.com/OAuth-FAQ) to allow Twitter to users to authenticate boxee to access their account, without having to give boxee their password.

This would be useful for both the 'find my Twitter followers on Boxee' tool and the 'tweet what i'm watching' feature.

It would be cool if you could add your rating/review of a hospital to the NHS Choices website via a dedicated iPhone app.

You could have it open on a search page where you can start typing the name of the hospital, and the app suggests results as you're typing. You can then choose the right hospital, see it's name, a picture of it, it's address, phone number, email address, website etc. You would also be able to see it's overall 'quality of service' rating and other performance stats. It would also let you add your own rating review for that hospital, and also let you upload photos from your iPhone as part of your review (e.g if you want to show stuff that hasn't been cleaned, quality of the food etc).

Many companies offer a 'live chat' service on their online stores so that if a customer wants to ask a question about a product/service to a real person, they can do so without having to pick-up the phone.

It would be good if NHS Direct offered this kind of service on the nhs.uk website. Ideally a button near the top of the page that say "Click here to talk to a NHS Direct advisor".

It would be great if everyone in the UK had the right to a comprehensive health 'check-up' every 6 months.

As many of the health problems that people in the UK might come up against are lifestyle related (obesity, high cholesterol etc) or are treated more successfully with early detection (most types of cancer), a system of check-ups would help the nation to improve it's health dramatically.

A check-up every 6 months would not only make it easier for GP's to detect problems sooner, but it also gives a chance for them to discuss a patient's overall health, offering advice and help if the patient smokes or is overweight for example. Also, by seeing the same GP regularly, the patient-doctor relationship will be drastically improved, with the patient more likely to trust and take the advice of their GP.

Other Notes

- At each check-up, a number of tests would be run, and the results posted on the patients 'HeathSpace' account when they become available. Each patient would be test for an array of common health problems (e.g STD's, cancers etc).

- The system of checkups would tie in with a advanced version of the 'HealthSpace' system, where both the patient and their GP can post messages to the system (a bit like Google Wave) so that if a patient has a non-urgent question or problem, they can post it online for their GP to answer, without having to make an appointment at their local health centre.

- An improved HealthSpace system would be a bit like dailyburn.com, in that a patient can make a log of their diet and exercise online, which allows their GP to monitor their health and provide suggestions on how they can improve.

- The HealthSpace system would also allow a patient to update their status on the national organ donor register, and also let them sign up to donate blood. The system would alert the patient when the are needed to give blood, and the patient can also see how much blood they have given on HealthSpace. You could also have 'Xbox Live' style achievements for donating (e.g. Awesome! You've donated 5 pints of blood this year!) that can be seen on the patients account.

- This system would also apply to dentistry, with a dental check-up every 6 months.

I understand that this would require more GP's to meet the demand of such a system, which would in turn require more funding for the NHS, but by detecting and solving health issues before they get worse, the NHS would save money in the long term by not having to pay for drugs/surgery.

It would be great if I could be alerted via email of new public consultations posted on "consult.leeds.gov.uk". Ideally you would be only sent alerts that affect you (eg only consultations about Rothwell if you live in Rothwell ward).

It would also be good to get a second alert when the result of a consultation you participated in are posted on the site.

Just something I noticed after creating a new page for a company that hadn't created themselves on GS.

When you create a new community/company page, it doesn't appear in your 'Recent Activity' feed on the users dashboard.

I was expecting something along the lines of "You created a community page for 'Company Name'."
