While traversing the web in search of great new websites with potential, I stumbled upon ThoughtBlend.com, a free Web 2.0 idea community. The interface was clean, the database was robust for being only two months old, and the ideas were flowing.
After browsing a few categories I clicked on a couple of ideas that caught my eye and really enjoyed to read the forum-style comments that left a breadcrumb trail of thoughts following each idea. Users in the community were really working together to perfect, or critique other users' ideas.
As for features, I was able to add good ideas and users to my favorites lists to return to them later, and I was able, like any good Web 2.0 website, to rate other users' ideas and comments.
Users also earned points for posting ideas, as well as getting rated on their ideas and comments, so by clicking "brainstormers" I was instantly taken to a scoreboard topped by the users with the most activity.
All in all, ThoughtBlend is a great sandbox to throw your ideas out there and see what the masses think of it. Heck, we all have great ideas sometimes, but often it's hard or impossible to ever implement them. That doesn't mean they should go unnoticed though.
