Joe's Idea Farm - Proposing a new Web 2.0 Idea

Here is my hot new (2010!) idea for Web2.0

Joe

The Idea in a Nutshell

It is a simple idea, I promise.

You propose changes to any website, the intermediary website will allow commentary and a preview of what the proposed changes would look like.

That content can then be used by the target of the proposed changes.

An Example

For example, let’s say you visit a blog and you read an article and really like it but have ideas how it can be improved.

If you provide proofing services this could be career oriented outreach.

You use the browser add on for the proposing website and it brings you to an editable version of the page.

You make the changes you would like to “propose” then tweet it out to Twitterverse, Share via Facebook, clip via Amplify, etc.

The blog owner may notice a trackback, a google alert or some analytics data.

They can organically discover the modified version of the article.

They can even grab the proposed changes and insert them in the blog, preferably including some citation to the individual that modified the content.

This could be enforced via some type of embed option.

There could be a social network built out of the proposing website, voting on the best changes, recognition, prizes and awards.

Provide input

Now that I’ve shared the root idea, would you like to propose features to improve this idea?

Or maybe you want to ship me chests full of money, armies of interns and great advisers to try it out, either way I’d love to hear your thoughts.
