I think that the discussion so far about ideas being worth something or not is off the mark, having read eoghans blog, this one (excellent btw) and having done one myself I think its fair to say we are all reading off the same hymn sheet in that crap ideas are no good no matter where they show up and hidden ideas equally don't come to anything.

Perhaps it would be best if we try to foster a culture where ideas are more easily protected and can thus get into the public domain faster and see what comes of them. I thought contrast were insightful in the ideas competition but equally others were cynical and had a relevant point in being so.

solution? make it easy to put a basic copyright on an idea, maybe a site where you can have an account and log your idea (dates/times/ip's recorded) then put it out there without fear of it getting ripped off. Companies could then troll the site and if they saw a commercially viable one they contact the owner and go from there.

it sure beats sitting around all smug about great ideas we won't share right?

I read alot about people instantly clicking off pages if they have a complex form to fill out and I know I'm not a fan of it myself so my advice is keep things simple, sometimes people just want a call or to be able to call you. For that reason we have a small box on the front of our site where you can ask any general question you want and get a call or email back. also having the phone number on every page is vital.... it breaks my heart when you go to a website and have to search high and low in order to get a phone number
