The Idea

The River of Ideas/Innovation is a real-time, scrolling display of ideas aggregated from tagged blog posts (aka Edgeio). Sit and watch the ideas scroll past or search specifically via tags. Clicking an idea takes you to that person's website/blog. Code on that website provides a makeshift discussion/file swap forum to explore the idea further. This is the early stages of collaboration. River of Ideas aggregates blog posts like Edgeio, in that bloggers need only to tag their post "idea-river" and it will appear on the scrolling list. Ideas can be in all areas (software, self-improvement, world peace) but the common theme is harnessing suggestions for improving the world and forming new collaborations. Revenue model: 1) advertising (duh!) 2) provision of collaboration tools for people forming partnerships, or alliance with existing collaboration tools. 3) pro-account provides complete website add-on that allows visitors to your blog/site to collaborate with you on the idea.

I thought of this idea when I was...

thinking how to improve idea warz - would love a scrolling display of the ideas. If i could enter keywords to change which ideas are scrolling that would be great as well. With super large numbers of ideas, need a different way to search them. I have many ideas which I document on my blog. Would love to have these featured on a site as well as have the features to collaborate with someone if they contacted me.

This is neat! I'm not sure exactly why, but I definitely dig it. Could be that I have a particular affinity for "river" themes: http://www.thoughtriver.com

Very interesting

But it's not mainstream enough for the masses

This might have potential, but it's hard to envision.
