The fact is that kluster and namethis both earn profit from the exchange and development of ideas. This is *much* more than most of the companies in crunchbase can say.

I’m pretty sure quirky is going to succeed. Perhaps negative commenters are just jealous because you’re not from the Valley. . .

And manufacturing is in the US. (not overseas).

And he wants you to pay him for the service?

Kinda like asking my doctor to fly a commerical plane I’m on because the doctor has a successful group practice?

Got better idea, Benny the Bull: Come up with your own ideas and present them to the readers at TC.

We’ll tell you whether they’ll fly or not.

As if the patent system wasn’t enough…

I totally get the intent but ethically it could be better managed. The reason places like india and china are thriving is because the western society is driving down the value of product and service. These ventures are not helping.

Let the divide between rich and poor grow even larger. If this is what social technology is doing to improve our world please shut off the power…..

2.) If the product is made, who is doing the marketing of it? Are you providing the Sham-Wow commercials, or you just hoping that it will sell on its own just because it was in the community? Or does the Owner of the idea expected to do the marketing?

Apparently, it’s Idiot Idea week on TC!

Congrats Ben. You’re Winning!

How about You have these same kids come over to your house and pay you to paint your fence?

Similar logic behind that idea and yours.

Counteroffer: Let’s pay TC readers 25 cents to articulate how incredibly stupid/self-absorbed/profoundly useless your idea really is.

I am hesitant with $99 as its still a high amount for me to submit just the ideas.

Wonderful opportunity for owner to walk away from train wreck of idea and volunteer to work in soup kitchen. Plant Trees, tutor kids, etc.

Incredible waste of energy and time that he will never get back.

Zowie!

Namethis is naming 5-10 new companies a day… Private Klusters power collaborative strategy across thousands of businesses worldwide (ad agencies, etc)…

Currently, users can submit ideas into our development projects and earn money as an influence without paying a dime… We do currently charge $99 for submitting an idea into product evaluation phases.

The reason for our fee is two-fold:

1. We feel this is a great self-selector. If you’re not willing to put $99 bucks up to see your product get made… then you’re probably not that serious about it.

2. You get something in return. At the end of an evaluation project, people who submitted a product idea get a link to comprehensive analytics &market research on their product concept. They’ll be able to see a realtime break down of the demographic of the idea’s supporters, as well as those who did not like the idea. Above this, they’ll get a stream of comments/ideas from the community on how they can improve their idea to push it over the edge.

If your idea does not win, the idea will be taken off the site, you’ll retain all rights to your idea… as well as all analytics/market research gained through the process.

This is wishful thinking, but from people WITH a basis on bringing products to market.

I myself founded mophie, and together with my team we developed hundreds of products which have been sold into 27 countries worldwide. The mophie juicepack is among the top accessories at the apple store currently.

keith brown, our lead engineer comes with 20+ years experience in design and manufacturing… he was an engineer at OXO, one of the most well respected consumer product brands in the world.

This is at best wishful thinking of a bunch of people with no basis in the reality of bringing a product to market. At worst it is a scam.
