Bouncing Off Ideas at shareyourbrain

January 21st, 2009 in News, by Head Honcho

Have you ever had that eureka moment only to rethink about your idea a few days later and come to a realization that it sucks? Or worse, have someone point it out to you?

That is why brainstorming for ideas is a welcome process in coming up with a decision. As said in Think For A Change:

Put simply, group brainstorming works because we each have different lenses, based on our unique experiences, through which we view problems. These different lenses provide an infinite amount of unique ideas generated for a particular problem set.

But if you don’t have anyone to bounce ideas around with, or you have a wellspring of ideas willing to share your thoughts with others, you can take advantage of the website Share Your Brain.

Share Your Brain is a collaborative idea and online brainstorming platform that allows anyone to request solutions and contribute ideas across all types of industries and categories. In its own words, it is similar to walking into a giant room of people and asking them to help come up with ideas for which your business has a need. The resulting brainstorming and interaction between members - bouncing ideas off each other, adding and subtracting contributions from user to user, would create many new ideas, designs and innovative directions for any business concern.

So if you need to have a virtual brainstorming session, Share Your Brain’s community can help you in coming up with ideas, creating designs and helping to generate solutions that meet your guidelines. Similarly, If you have ideas that can help others, you can join a project and help solve the problem or the design request. For each project, everyone gets to vote on the best solutions or designs for each project. When the project closes, everyone who participated in the winning idea gets rewarded with prizes. If you are a premium member, you can even be rewarded with cash.

Actions on Share Your Brain revolve around Ideapoints. Every project has a reward or prize value in Ideapoints. So if a project is listing the award at 10,000 Ideapoints - then all the users who participated in the winning idea would split the 10,000 Ideapoints. When you create an idea for an active project, help out on someone else’s idea, vote on projects, win a a project with the top-voted idea - you earn Ideapoints.

So whether you need some new perspective for your idea, or are itching to give a piece of your mind to others, Share Your Brain may just be the website for you.
