"Ideas are a dime a dozen": An open-ended experiment in crowdsourcing
- malnourish 16y agoInteresting concept, and shows the fallacy of the "dime a dozen" axiom. Bad ideas, sure, I'll pay ten cents for a dozen mediocre ideas. The truly good idea, the novel and meaningful, that can go for so much more.
- replicatorblog 16y agoThis is an interesting counterpoint to the the idea that an MBA is worthless in a new venture. Smart hackers will claim that ideas are $0.10/12, but an idea that is validated by market research, takes into account distribution with a well thought out marketing, is fundable, etc. is worth a great deal more. Not saying MBA idea are good or even better on average, but the market for ideas isn't a "Dollar" store where everything is one price.
- zaidf 16y agoSomeone write a bot that takes the top 1000 sites, and mashes up combos in the format "site X for Y" where X is a random site, and Y is a demographic. Wikipedia for students. YouTube for grandmas. etc.
- aeontech 16y agoI'd love to see a list of the ideas he gets with ranking and ability to vote them up/down.
- aeontech 16y agoAlthough I wonder if half of them are going to be along the lines of http://www.halfbakery.com/ http://www.halfbakery.com/
- ryanelkins 16y agoThis is posted in "general community". Is he even asking for business ideas or just any random thought?
- adam-_- 16y agoPost removed?
- bolero32 16y agoApparently, the post was mis-categorized. It should have been posted in the Services/Creative Services category rather than the Community/General category: http://london.craigslist.co.uk/crs/1731777616.html http://london.craigslist.co.uk/crs/1731777616.html
- DeusExMachina 16y agoI think this would be better targeted at Amazon Mechanical Turks. Its demographic is mainly made of people that do little tasks for little payments.
- tectonic 16y agoI did something similar on mechanical turk. Mine was called "two cents for your two cents" and I got some interesting ideas, although most of them were pretty lame.
