Social Dressing 
I know people have this on individual sites but I haven't seen the app in Facebook or MySpace yet. I want to look for clothes or glasses, then have the community (my online friends) tell me what to buy. For example, I'm looking for glasses now and have my favorites. I'd share them with my Facebook friends and let them provide their input. I'd make the final decision.

Easy Service for Converting Your Organization's Calendar to work with Google Calendar, Upcoming, Eventful, etc. 
There's a ton of nice calendar services out there and a ton of organizations with CRAPPY calendars that don't integrate with anything (like gCalendar and Upcoming). Start a company that charges businesses to promote their calendars on the "BIG" calendar sites.

"Relative Time" application 
Improve how time is stored in PoorMike's. Not everything is related to a calendar year. Build an interface that allows people to easily store time information using a format other than the Julian Calendar. Add features that are geo-specific. Also be able to capture such oddities as "the start of the year", "after the first full moon", "three days before my birthday", etc. Detect ambiguity.
Work with/extend tisbest.org  In Progress
These guys are doing some cool things with charities and gift cards and could use some help promoting. We could do a Widget, tap into their API and help them promote.

Theo wrote, "The trick is finding a restaurant that is new and good for both people." I'm not sure that the restaurant has to be new for both people...just good. But if it did have to be new for both people, you could track "accepted" recommendations against the people who accepted them (assumes there's a login/profile/identifier for all participants) and assume that they went to that place. You could do a "post-lunch follow-up" to have them say whether or not they rented and rate the restaurant, maybe say that's they'd go back or not.
