nice, can you please make the title of each link show the summary, or arrange it in one column that expands 1 idea only regarding whatever is clicked, within that column. The idea can then be easily contracted again, or does so automatically when another is clicked.

  I've used Accordion (http://docs.jquery.com/UI/Accordion http://docs.jquery.com/UI/Accordion) at first. As I understand you are describing similar behaviour. It was not very convinient when height of idea description >~= height of the screen so I switched to current implementation. Problem of very short descriptions could be solved by tooltips as sgallant proposed.

    On second thought, I would left justify the columns (have just 1 or two columns) and then create a docked div for the details to appear when an idea is selected. See here: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex17/stayontop.htm http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex17/stayontop.htm

I think the more this concept (open startup ideas) gets fleshed out, the more appealing it has become. This is a huge improvement over the original spreadsheet, but I could see even more value being created with a better interface yet. Organize by subject, add search, etc. It feels like people are becoming far less guarded of their brilliant ideas than in times past. I wonder what could come out of a vibrant and open "idea discussion" community.

  I would like to improve UI and add features (tags, search and so on) but at that time is not clear will it get traction.

This is a brilliant visualization of that data. In terms of spicing up the UI, some popurls.com-like hover over states might work. Will the source for this project be available?

  Thank you for idea with hover tooltips. I have not obfuscated/minified source and it's available at http://andrey.yatsyk.com/startup_ideas/app.js http://andrey.yatsyk.com/startup_ideas/app.js (only a page of js)
