One of these days someone is going to make a parody "X for Y" site that randomly generates similar such things.

  * AirBnB for oil tankers
  * Dropbox for cars
  * Uber for soft drinks
  * Exec for music
  * Github for food
  * Twitter for fashion

I think the startup world already does this well enough to negate any need for parody.

Github for food (recipes) seems like it would work pretty well, really.

The rest seem less useful...

Dropbox for cars makes no sense. Do you mean a garage?

Twitter for fashion - already exists! Just follow people who talk about fashion on twitter already.

Wasn't there a HN'er who ran a site called "Fork the Cookbook"? I seem to remember him posting in the Google Reader thread recently.

I always wanted to build a Github for guitar tabs, where people could fork the tab for a song and improve it and contribute it back.
