Idea bank

Nice initiatives and a source for smiles and pityfull headshaking are the idea banks.
Their contribution to innovation is questionable but at least they are a proof of human ingenuity.
See for example: Whynot, Creativity pool, Idea a day, Halfbakery, Global Ideas Bank, The Cranium and ManageMyIdeas
