Information About

Ideas Bank





EXAMPLES


Wikis

Although not necessarily ideas banks ''per se'', by allowing anyone to edit, Wiki s allow a group of people to work on information collaboratively. This collaborative writing can continue until all are satisfied with the article or piece of writing, but more often than not contributions continue as visitors add information, improve what is already there, and remove irrelevant or incorrect information.


Halfbakery

''Main article: Halfbakery ''

Halfbakery is an example of a slightly less serious ideas bank. Users submit ideas, often jokingly, which are then commented on, often jokingly, by other users.


Global Ideas Bank

''Main article: Global Ideas Bank ''

The Global Ideas Bank is very much the opposite of Halfbakery in that ideas are proposed seriously, and in some cases actually implemented. It started as a group of inventors in 1985 and became a large organization over several years until it was put online with its current name in 1995.


Idea A Day

''Main article: Idea A Day ''

Founded in London in 2000, Idea A Day solicits submissions of original ideas from around the world, edits and publishes one considered example every day. A book, The Big Idea Book, comprising 500 of the best ideas was published by Wiley in 2003.
