IBM on InnovationJam and Thinkplace

IBM recently showcased the top 10 ideas generated by its employee and client online "jam". In essence the company opened up a site that allowed access to its staff as well as clients in an effort to get a wide-ranging conversation - a brainstorming - happening on future needs and possible solutions. It's mostly worthy stuff as well as potentially profitable, if the research department can make it workable. I like the "jam" idea but it does get a bit hard to see what's happening when 150,000 people are simultaneously involved. Hey, I work for IBM and I participated - but these are my opinions and not necessarily those of the corporation. It was crowded in there.

Anyway, it's come up with some good ideas - check it out at InfoWorld.
