Totally agree on noise/signal issue, however ... well-thought out, validated ideas are precious. There's probably a small cache of such ideas that people are willing to share, but that'd be a very small cache. Not sure if it'd justify creation of a full-scale news or discussion site. If anything, it'd be more like a infrequent curated newsletter.
- jemka 13y agoFull fledged "ideas" aren't what you'd post. What you would see would be discussions about problems. A site for open consultations where people can express pain points in their daily lives. Of course you'd have to make it conversational enough to where people without the ability to adequately identify and express their pain points can do so with ease. Often people don't realize a pain point until a solution is available. People with the power to reduce/remove such pain points would stand a better chance at identifying real need and business opportunities. You can do this with your friends, co-workers, family, or neighbors. You may find a few problems to fix and may even come up with a few solutions. And you might get lucky with a viable solution. But, expand that premise to the country or the world. Now you're talking about learning about problems you didn't even know existed. Problems that you personally might be able to solve. And you have a community of "solvers" waiting to help. The "co-founder" website finder is built right in.
- mgkimsal 13y agoEveryone's ideas are 'valid' to them, thus validated (in their minds). And "well thought-out"... we've all run in to people who've been thinking about their ideas for years, but that doesn't mean the ideas are really implementable, or that the problems are truly solvable (or solvable beyond that one person).
