The Idea Stimulation Process
Posting New Ideas
The process of idea stimulation starts by posting a new idea and describing exactly what it is you want to generate new ideas about. You can add video to demonstrate your idea and also set goals of how many approvals need to be reached.
While posting new ideas user should try to capture the true essence of what they are looking for in as few words as possible. A vague description will usually yield equally vague results.
