When you're around someone, buying them a beer is a quick and simple way to connect. It doesn't cost much, but it always make the other person feel happy and appreciated.
But, it's not so easy to do that from far away. Which is why I really think YouGotBeer.com is a great idea.
It's a really simple service. You go online, enter the name and email of the person you want to buy a beer for, pay with Paypal, and hit submit.
Then, YouGotBeer.com sends that person an email with a gift certificate for a beer at a bunch of locations close to them.
No, this isn't the next eBay, or Facebook, or Google. But it's fun! It effectively and creatively solves the problem of wanting to buy a beer for someone who isn't in the same city.
And there is definitely something to be said for a service that is a cheap and easy way to put a smile on someone's face when they're on the other side of the country or the world!
Just remember, creative ideas don't always have to be earth-shattering and unique. Sometimes, great ideas help people do simple things in a new way.
And, stop thinking that ideas have to always be serious. Have some fun! Give YouGotBeer.com a try!
(Hat tip to Drew, who already got a beer from someone. He thinks it's a great idea too!)
