The next frontier is to tap the quiet genius that exists outside organizations to attract innovations from people who are prepared to work with a company, even if they don't work for it.

hey michael, great to finally meet you at stanford today! I think cambrian house's concept of idea sharing,shredding and subsequent improvement is good to refine the scope and quality of ideas. participation is a challenge that might not be easily solved because people do not really know each other than well.

Hi MJ -

Nice meeting you and Shelley at MRC. I'd like to come visit CH - maybe in March to talk more about Perfect Pitch + collaborative projects. I'll bring my interface designer too! Also, handed out a few of your cards to our mighty brained folks - but let me know if you need particluar skill sets.

I am not MJ but here is my take on those comments:

There is non, never will be. If you post your idea here anyone can take it, BUT lets be honest, there is no such thing as a original idea! NON, if you thought of it someone else has thought of it to.
The real power of CH is the collaboration, say you have a idea... I have some comments to improve you idea. Now that idea that was just OK is amazing! but now how do you turn that into a business? because you are only into programing? well thats where I come in, while you are programing I can work on the business side of things, someone else can help with the marketing, someone else with sales, someone else with bug testing... and soon you have your self a business...

So that Idea you had that someone else had somewhere else has evolved into a business... and that guy that had the same idea as you, is still dreaming of doing something with that idea.

hey MJ, man i been trying to make this idea work, ie an ideas website and looks like you gone and done it! congrats. Normally i be gutted you stole my idea but i'm just glad that the people of earth (bit dramatic i know) have and ideas website to use.

i have a question regarding the site as it was a major stumbling block for me when thinking about the creation of an ideas site. Are ideas protected? ie if someone reads my idea and goes off and does it am I protected in any way?

Hey MJ,

Its Adam K, I just thought I'd let you know that I'm finally starting to spend more time on here checking out ideas and putting my two cents in. It looks as though things are going well for you and CH. Drop me a line sometime so we can get you out to one of our poker games...it's been too long.

Cheers,

Adam
