We’ve built something similar, called UserVoice, that enables any company or community to have a tool like this, but we do a little more to create a market around good ideas rather than just letting everyone vote everything up.

You can check out UserVoice and request your own page (we’re in semi-private beta) at http://example.uservoice.com

I see a lot of decent looking ideas voted down without any explanation! I think the voting system has to be mixed more closely with the comments. (Possibly a screen asking for comment after someone votes).

Another issue: If I try to edit an idea, it gives me a screen telling me to input the title… but the title field (at that point blank) is disabled!
The original edit page also has a disabled title field, but that time with the title filled in. It would appear that the disabled field is not submitted. Joy!

Fantastic work so far

I just checked it out, and it worked fine for me.

I have to say I really like this idea and I hope it keeps up throughout the newer releases too!

Scott,

Great idea nice to see it come along. Currently I’m gettting a 404 Page Cannot be displayed when I visit the site. Don’t know if the site is down or it is just a problem with IE7 under Vista.

Thought I would drop a note

Thanks for all the hard work,

Jonathan
