Hey Brenda,

I have been looking up at this site for last one year and true it has some amazing ideas... Its so suprising that lot of people come up with an idea and disregard it thinking it to be too simple or something to laugh about... but this website tells you the true story... no idea is simple or foolish....

Hi Dinesh, I couldn't agree more. I think this site is great for helping that "budding" innovator to take the next step with their ideas. I have used this site with my senior multimedia students and have used a lot of the samples as case studies.
