Crowdsourcing represents the act of a company or institution taking a function once performed by employees and outsourcing it to an undefined (and generally large) network of people in the form of an open call.

As far as ideas, all you need is one.

I"m 24 from a small town in Connecticut. After highschool, I got 3 investors from New York to put up 10,000$ each for a dating service investment. The site took longer then expected to build and funds ran dry. We took the site down and now it"s sitting on a CD as data! I"ve come up with a lot of ideas that I believe will be successful yet I"m not the best coder and don"t make enough to market. I"m hoping this site is for real and can help on my quests. This site seems great so far. Only problem I see is people copying eachother"s ideas. I"ll save my best for someone interested in a 50/50 partnership. Its tough to put your best idea out there for everyone to steal!
