Default You gave me an idea.... Here it is. What do you think? :)

Hi Paul!

That's an exciting feeling.... :)

I know what you mean.... This happens to me every now and then....

A BURST of excitement and drive, and the feeling there's SO MUCH going on, so much excitement, so many great ideas to work on!!!!!

I've found I usually don't have time to work on ALL of them, which is a pity, because I'd LOVE to do so.... :)

In addition to Sowpub, I have some ideas for other projects too, which I think would succeed....

Which makes me think.... Wouldn't it be great to have a place where we could exchange our ideas, but in a sense, behind closed doors -- so not EVERYONE would be privy to them, but just those who you wanted to know them....

(Ideas can be the most precious things -- when ACTED upon -- but also on the other hand you cannot patent or copyright an idea....)

I know that many of us have a surplus of good ideas, and we just DON'T have time to do them all! But, on the other hand, there are times when you don't have ideas, and some people find it difficult to get started and could use a few ideas....

I'm not sure how such a place could work, but if there was a place where we could share our unused ideas with others, in a way where we can also get something back in return too -- wouldn't that be a great place?

Anyone have any ideas how such a place could be implemented?

The closest thing I can think of might be Bill Myers' "Idea Bank" -- though I never joined. If I remember right, membership cost $995 or so, and Bill's promise was to give you lots of ideas (or something like that).... There's an example of a place where you could get ONE person's extra ideas....

And here's another related place, though again still not quite the same thing.... The Global Ideas Bank, at

www.globalideasbank.org

Surf around -- it can be a very interesting place.... :)

This is a place for people to share ideas on how to help the world become a better place.... SOME of these might be able to be made into products, though that's not the primary focus of the site....

What do others think? Could an "idea sharing" place be a good idea?

I think it would be a great idea, but I'm not sure how such a place could work in the sense where everyone could benefit, without just having a few giving, and most just taking. I think you'd probably want a place where EVERYONE will both give and take equally....

Any ideas? :)
