If you haven’t heard about it yet a company just launched called Cambrian House that has built an incredibly interesting system to open source business ideas.
I think they have done a brilliant job executing this concept, so does Peter Cashmore over at mashable, and his commenters are certainly having a healthy debate.
I think they have made a great start and would like to see them open up contributions to include marketing ideas as well. IMHO the code and creative might create the product, but unique and innovative marketing ideas are very valuable as well.
I have actually submitted my first idea, and it’s a combination of product, marketing and a little social media engineering. I’m calling it the “idea widget for bloggers”:
Apart from generating mondo backlinks and loads of traffic there are a couple of revenue opportunities:
A. The use of the Idea Widget should get the owners of the idea widget some number of royalty points any time it is used
B. The Idea Widget contains a link to the idea and a small text based advertisement for a relevant company
Click on this image if you like the idea, and maybe us bloggers will have a way to earn royalty points by pointing at good ideas:

Hello,
in the same concept, look at this website that I've just noticed http://cecrowdsourcing.blogspot.com/ This is a further step on the crowdsourcing as it aims to design and sale electronic products for the first time (it's hardware development and not software for this time). It looks promising but it's just started. I'd recommand you to join this community, who knows it can work and you can potentially earn money.
