This would be a bit more beneficial to me if my idea could bounce around getting feedback and other ideas on it. Or a searchable feature to find all ideas about x. Say I am good at arts and crafts but can't think of anything to make, i'd like to be able to search and find ideas.
So the value proposition I see is that I input a valid business idea that I was researching 2 years ago and got inputs from 4th graders. Totally will use it again.
There should be some verification/filter. Lot of users will enter just anything to see the idea.
Registration/Login will discourage users to use the site, so I recommend better filter out the ideas in backend. i.e. do not put them in the swap list unless verified.
I spent 5 minutes typing in a thoughtful idea and making it fit within 150 characters and got back "eat vegemite and cheese" - I feel like I got punk'd.
I wish I had read your comment first. I had the same experience, except I got "rob a bank" in return. On the upside, it reminded me that I had Justified recorded on my DVR.
"If you're in a war, instead of throwing a hand grenade at the enemy, throw one of those small pumpkins. Maybe it'll make everyone think how stupid war is, and while they are thinking, you can throw a real grenade at them."
Just clicking and swapping the idea isn't terribly interesting. Instead of seeing their ideas, I'd like to know what other people think of my idea.
I want to make a sticky note, and let other people comment on it, maybe by letting them post smaller sticky notes beside it, or underneath it. Then I'd like to come back tomorrow and see everyone else's notes splattered all over the page.
So in the past few days we've seen three sites that have very similar meta-ideas. http://captainobvio.us/ was posted recently, I've been working on http://cluedb.com/ and now this one. There are also much-older ideas like http://halfbakery.com/ and http://fmylife.com etc. They all have various sets of snippet posting, user rating, commenting, etc. I wonder if this is an emerging trend?

Sounds like "Billy's Balloon" by Don Hertzfeld.

Found it odd how often it mentioned the linkedin API.
