		<description>We&#039;ve been trialling Uservoice for three weeks and it&#039;s indeed an excellent and very easy way to add feedback and user voting to an existing site. 

The integration is a breeze (just some javascript code in your header) and we like the UI a lot. You can see the integration on our pages as a blue &#039;feedback&#039; tab on the left (use link above).

The guys behind it are figuring out their pricing structure at the moment and need to work hard on this and some of their communications. They&#039;ve been having teething problems with their outreach e-mails but this is a minor criticism of an otherwise great application.</description>

		<description>We at BrightIdea.com have been doing this for the past 8 years. Good to see more companies embracing Ideation and Innovation which validates our market. I would mention that collection of ideas is the easy part. Making those ideas into reality is the where the real work begins. Although we provide an end to end innovation pipeline mgmt software, we believe the innovation space deserves more consideration and attention from large companies whose existence will ultimately depend on how they manage innovation.</description>

		<description>http://www.collabandrate.com/ was doing this last year. However, they seem to have fallen off the face of the earth. 

We drew up designs to integrate the same type of service integrated into our web 2.0 help desk software- which is in development to support our launch of http://www.CleverTools.com. It is cool to see some other people out there doing the same thing!</description>

		<description>I was invited to participate on the Dell IdeaStorm site before it went live, and have monitored the progress ever since.

Collaborative innovation is an interesting concept when combined with enabling online participation and interaction tools.

However, when content ranking is entered into the equation, protecting and/or promoting vested interests seem to become the primary focal point for public participants that hide behind cryptic user names.

Sometimes bigots and bullies attempt to silence a dialog that&#039;s contrary to their position. You quickly see both the best and worst of human nature bubble to the surface.

That said, I&#039;ve registered for the UserVoice service, and will apply it on one of my websites. IMHO, the potential of harvesting ideas -- from stakeholders globally -- is a worthy cause for any social media designer.</description>
