I have an unworked on site that I've been planning (but not doing) for years (I even registered a domain name "eWindowBox.com").
The idea is to create a virtual "window box" - flowers and bugs and stuff, that appears to be right outside your window. Furthmore I always wanted to use weather service data to generate a semi-realistic condition (rain outside would mean rain in the window box) and include networked "living creatures". A bird, for example, might fly from one window box to other nearby boxes - perhaps even carrying text messages or "add a line" type stories. Spiders could ballon from box to box (based solely on wind patterns) and bees could pollinate (and perhaps create hybrids and such) of the flowers in the boxes perhaps also carrying small phrases or words. As noted the flowers would be generated via parameter sets and people might be able to use an editor to create their own flowers (which could then propagate to nearby boxes via birds, winds or other realistic means). The core idea is to create a truly anonymous community: you can pass messages to other users but not to specific users. The community could create shared stories and works of art, but there would be no centralized planning or organization. I've had the idea for years, but never the time to pursue it.
