twitter as idea exchange

My favorite part of work is ideation - the process of collaboration that leads to new ideas.  It’s the most fun, dynamic, and exciting work I do.

Given that I love ideation, I’ve been thinking a lot over the past few years about how to facilitate ideation in more areas of my life.  In fact, I’d love to start a web-based solution to foster idea generation among people.  And I wonder if Twitter isn’t the perfect solution for fostering ideation.

This quote got me thinking about the topic…

…the revolutionary twist of twitter is that it allows “mass, real-time conversations in a scalable way”, permitting “a constant, dynamic, ‘eavesdroppable’ conversation…

The quote is specific to StockTwits.com, but I think it works as a descriptor for how twitter could be an ideation engine as well.
