Which is why you haven't seen a successful idea website. It's not a simple problem to solve. But I don't for one second believe it's not possible. My point, however, was to explain why merely posting "ideas" isn't a solution. It just happen

Do you think all of the 500k were actual Google Reader users? It's possible a portion are jumping on the hivemind's bandwagon. Not discrediting the cause, just saying that some people like to join causes for the sake of joining causes.
