Crowdsourcing just got Simpler, Faster and Less Expensive

Corporate and non-profit crowdsourcing for ideas just got simpler, faster and less expensive.

IdeaConnection.com, the company that provides online collaborative problem solving, has just launched a new service allowing anyone to set up a crowdsourcing contest in a few minutes, and start receiving quality ideas within hours.

"These contests, which pay cash for ideas, attract quality responses rapidly because we not only publicize the challenge on our website – we also notify our newsletter subscribers, our database of thousands of qualified Problem Solvers, and our database of people who have signed up to be notified of contests," says Scott Wurtele, founder of IdeaConnection.com.

Companies benefit from contests, not only from the ideas they generate, but also from the publicity they attract. Non-profit organizations can also benefit by including a link to their donation page in their contest listing.

IdeaConnection also offers it's "Rapid Response" feature – a subscription service for Corporations that want instant answers to crisis problems as they arise. It's like having a "virtual think tank in their back pocket."
