    1 Star brightideas.com needs, well, ah, integrity. 14/09/2001
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages ~avenues to write ideas in

    Disadvantages Disadvantages ~management, lost of integrity

    When I first approached brightideas.com, I was very excited. I thought, how nice. A place to get some great information on all types of avenues in life and make a few cents for your time. For a few months, things panned out. I had acquired quite a file there, and received payment. The information I received on many things was a great benefit. But, something happened, the site went caos, people lost earnings, and the management at brightideas.com will not contact or respond to email. There are many {understated} members who have not been able to cash out their money. Midway through my joining ... more

    2 Stars Got Bright Ideas then go to this Site 30/01/2001
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Fun Site;Pays for Ideas;Easy to Navigate;Lots of Categories

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Has become slow;Non US members must accumulate US$100 to redeem

    Brightidea.com is a US-based site that pays you to submit ideas. There are three categories, viz, Share, Compete and Develop. The vast majority of members participate in the first category, ie, in sharing bright, quirky, wacky or even silly ideas with other members. The compete section involves you competing against others in competitions on specific ideas, eg, new ideas for hand-held computers with total prize money of US $2,500 - a recent winner was a Chinese girl living and studying in Birmingham, England. The third section called Develop involves the Patent Café Staff on the site helping ... more

    1 Star Bright ideas or burned out light bulbs 13/11/2001
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages None

    Disadvantages Disadvantages don't pay

    I was surprised to see find this site listed here. It is one of many that I have been with and been screwed by. It started out great, there was a bunch of categories to write about even silly odd things and you could write as much as you wanted. You built up your list of people you read and ones that read you and these were sent by alerts or you could choose to go by your list.For me being in the states I could cash out every ten dollars and that was very simple, just hit the cash out button and verify the info and that was it. The next week the check would come and most weeks I got several ... more

    4 Stars Make some dollars 10/06/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Pays

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Might not last

    I had never heard of brightidea.com until very recently, surprising considering I am a member of most other sites of it's nature. The premise is not that far removed from what we are all doing now, namely a pay for opinions site. As the name suggest though, the site concentrates less on opinions and more on peoples ideas on everything from politics to products. Unfortunately I seem to have joined the site at a problematic time. There are a lot of worries about the sites future, people are complaining that they have not received cheques, and worst of all - emails are not being replied to. This ... more

    Advantages Advantages VERY GOOD SITE, GOOD POTENTIAL

    Disadvantages Disadvantages SLOW AT TIMES

    This is a site that really does make your ideas real. This is a really good site, relatively new but the concept it good.

You earn money by: Everytime a registered Brightidea.com member rates your idea, you earn a cash royalty. The more members that rate your idea, the more royalties you earn. The ... more

    4 Stars Get Paid For Your Thoughts Now 30/03/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages sounds like easy money

    Disadvantages Disadvantages certainly isn't, iffy customer service and buggy site at present

    You've been paid to surf, paid to receive emails and paid for your opinions... NOW BE PAID FOR YOUR THOUGHTS!!! Brightidea.com is an excellent site which pays you for your handy hints and tips or much larger invention-type ideas. It seems that you can write about virtually anything here as long as your idea is valid and you will be paid for it. It works much teh same as dooyoo, with different categories to submit ideas under although because they are after ideas rather than specific things, the categories are much wider. You simply enter your idea in the right category, submit it and wait for ... more

    3 Stars SHED THAT SHYNESS. SHARE YOUR IDEAS. 10/07/2004
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages If it is about airing your ideas, it is here.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Expect nothing more.

    While exploring the world of CIAO, I came across a few ‘ancient’ reviews on brightideas.com. Curiosity forced me to take a peep at this site. Brightidea.com, based in California made its appearance in October 2000. It offered the surfer an open platform, to share his / her creative ideas (anything under the sun!), tap commercial potential if any, and pick up cash awards and prizes in the process. The initial response was inspiring. Over 10,000 ideas reached the website in the first year, putting it well ahead of competition. Brightidea.com also donned a consensus- building role, and launched a ... more

    3 Stars Good Idea In Theory. 13/05/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Earn money for ideas

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Payment sounds complicated

    I stumbled across this site while surfing around the Internet. When the home page loaded I was really impressed, earn money for your ideas and tips. I'm quite a resourceful person and can think of loads of inventions and ideas, so I thought this might be the site for me. You can earn money by submitting ideas, it's similar to Ciao, if someone rates your idea you get paid 100 clicks=$1. You can also earn money by entering a competition for the best tip. This sounds good doesn't it, the next thing I did before joining was to find out about payment. At the moment you can only be payed in US ... more

    5 Stars Quick review of brightidea.com by psdhingra 01/06/2007
    If reputed organizations like Hallmark, Bristol Myers Squibb, Bosch, Emerson, ING Financial and the U.S. Department of Defense are using its services in Innovation Process Management (IPM), naturally it deals in cutting edge technology to help in enterprise solutions.
