I think the banana example is a bit silly….

These websites are more than just money for people with a fun idea… they are also low/no cost marketing surveys. And they are ways to get good ideas to go viral at almost no cost.

these websites will bring ideas to market so much faster than big/slow companies can trapped in meetings about meetings ….. know that companies often have their own agenda that can be different than the best interest of the idea. Now anyone with a good idea can get funding and test out the idea before big money is spent.

If you believe the singularity is needing ideas to happen at an ever increasing rate, then the old system of good ideas has to change on a massive scale….. this is part of it…… and bigger part than most think.
