I routinely trip over them getting out of the shower, preparing lunch, and getting into bed. Seriously, I didn't realize that a shortage of ideas was a problem for anyone--for me it's much harder to focus on a single one long enough to execute it well.
I just really cannot understand how people don't have ideas right now, the world is changing profoundly and practically every industry on earth needs to leverage web based software or fall out of relevance. This is a once in a generation opportunity. I can't imagine not having any ideas, it's always execution and dealing with (self and others) attention deficit that's key, everything else is basically a semantic issue.
There seems to be something similar going on with "side project" ideas, where there aree (I'm told) people who want to have a fun side project but don't have any ideas. I wish there was a good place where idea people can stick their excess ideas for other people to pick up. You could vote for ideas you want to see implemented, link to your own implementation, etc. I would probably do it myself, if I didn't have too many ideas already.
It's been an ongoing meta for nearly 10 years now, between ideatorrent, brainstorm, ideaswatch et al which have all failed to engage for one reason or another (I suppose because good ideas are something people don't want to share?). Can always keep a watch on un(der) funded projects on kickstarter or angellist to gain insights also.
