5. What is Ideeter?
Ideeter will be the World's largest free and open online ideation
(crowdstorming) community.
It’s a platform that takes the fun aspects of Facebook and usefulness
of Google and enables anyone, anywhere to tweet (or 'deet') ideas to
solve problems set by anyone, anywhere.
The thinking behind Ideeter is based on a centuries old body of
creative problem solving knowledge.
It perfectly blends old school creativity wisdom with a simple,
modern community based online interface.

11. Ideeter Investment Note Excerpt…
“On Ideeter everyone’s voice can be heard so not only can the best
ideas get past an initial ‘drowning phase’, creative people who’s
voices are not normally heard will suddenly have a voice. These ideas
can be credited to those people and they can be rewarded for them.
Ideeter will incorporate the capability to harness the ‘championing’ of
those ideas as well as to enable users to ask the crowd to fix their
own problems too. So the scope for very high levels of exchange and
engagement is there.”
“Whereas Facebook is ‘fun’ Ideeter is ‘useful’. In some ways Ideeter
will combine the searchability and usefulness of Google with the
democratic, fun aspects of Facebook. If you could harness that
potential, just think what that could translate in to financially?”
12. "Nothing is more dangerous than an idea when it is the only one you
have."
Emile Chartier

14. "A new idea is delicate. It can be killed by a sneer or a yawn; it can be
stabbed to death by a quip and worried to death by a frown on the
right man's brow."
Ovid
15. How does Ideeter work?
Ideeter enables:
- Challenges to be set for users with timeframes
- Ideets (ideas in tweets) to be entered by users in relation to the
Challenges
- Ideets to be rated by the community to establish popularity
- Popular ideets (champions) to be ‘championed’ by the
community
16. “If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange these
apples then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an
idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us
will have two ideas.”
George Bernard Shaw
17. In summary
Ideeter combines the user friendly interface you’d expect from
Facebook with the complexity of the Google interface.
So we think that with the right nurturing, with so many possible
applications and potential for very high levels of exchange and
engagement, very significant financial returns could be achieved,
long term.
