I’ve been on teams who have tried this and it didn;t work that well. Anyone had a positive experience?

$2500 idea bounty

I have a ton of ideas – most of them are just plain nuts. But when I read this post from andydrish.com – I got mad. 
I had this idea about 1 1/2 years ago – and don’t get me wrong, I know it wasn’t revolutionary at the time…but it’s the point.
Here’s an opportunity that any twenty-something should be checking out… Ramit Sethi is giving away $2500 to a twenty-something with an entrepreneurial idea. I started reading Ramit about a month ago. He’s a genuine guy that is truly interested in helping others reach their dreams.
This scholarship is looking for someone with past entrepreneurial experiences, a socially innovative idea, and lots of passion. The winner will get a one time donation of $2500 and Ramit will mentor them as their projects begins to grow.
I guess it’s like my buddy Nick says – ideas are cheap, it’s the implementation that is difficult.
What I really want is a better way to track my brainstorms, I need to find a guy who knows flash. I know of a cool wiki platform which had a killer API and would work perfectly.

Going Camping' – BarCamp NewsInnovation and WordCamp Iowa

BarCamp NewsInnovation
 |
My buddy Jason has “roped” me into BarCamp NewsInnovation. OK, I’m not kicking or screaming – I work with him at an old media/newspaper outlet and we can only complain and moan so much before we have to act, and I guess this is the act.
It is actually really cool, it kind of steamed off a Live Blog (here is the replay) our CEO Chucky P (is my nickname for Chuck Peters) did from an API Summit. Jason launched a BarCamp wiki and it grew from there
I will be updating the main BarCamp NewsInnovation wiki page to reflect this very soon. I am happy to add more locations as needed. People can either comment on this entry contact me via email (Jason).
- Chicago – Jason Kristufek and Tom Altman
- Portland, Ore., – Matt Neznanski and Daniel Bachhuber
- Washington, D.C. – Will Atwood Mitchell
- Lake Tahoe – Joe Boydston
- Miami – Greg Linch and Danny Sanchez
- Denver – still looking for a volunteer
- Atlanta – still looking for a volunteer
- Dallas – still looking for a volunteer
WordCamp Iowa
I’ve been getting more and more interested in WordPress. It is just such a versitle application. I’ve been preaching the WP open source for a while at the same old media/newspaper and I think it is starting to catch on.
I’ve renctly created my first plugin, it’s for a sidebar widget for adding an issuu to your side bar. (Check it out here.) In learning more and more, checking out a WordPress podcast along the way – I’ve just really feeling the WordPress groove.
So – I want to jump in with both feet and committ to a WordCamp in Iowa (more than likely Eastern Iowa) sometime Spring ‘09. Please contact me if you are interested. I’ll need all the help I can get.

I have recently discovered a site called CommonCraft which has been trying to explain some of the newer web technologies “in plain english”.
Three of the most popular are: wikis, RSS and social networking.
It is very cool to see some people trying to help promote and educate about web 2.0.
