Feb 14 2013: I think that is a great idea! My only concern would be how individuals would be capable of protecting their think tank idea once it has progressed to a solid business plan. What is going to stop any reader from taking the efforts of the collaboration and starting their own venture using these ideas? There are a lot of great resources out there for connecting with others and their business ideas. I frequently read several sites and keep an eye out for new technologies and start up ideas. Entrepreneur Magazine is a cool resource but can be simple in regards to some of the valuable content one would like to see associate with start up ideas. A few sites I like to read, that are also top rate start up blogs, include upandrunning.entrepreneur.com, thisisgoingtobebig.com, and askthevcs.com.
