One Month!

Saturday, December 16th, 2006

Today marks one month from the time that we released the ManageMyIdeas website. As of today, there are 173 ideas recorded in ManageMyIdeas. Not too bad for our little website!

Brad and I are designing and developing more improvements to the site. Updates include: a new login screen, improved description box, the ability to share ideas, and more. Brad has done a great job developing these new features! They rival anything available commercially. Included in this next release will be a tool that will allow you to invite your associates, friends, and family to sign-up for ManageMyIdeas. Once they sign-up, their names will show up in an “associates list” and you will be able to share ideas and comments with them. Collaborate on a group project, coordinate an upcoming family event, or share a business idea. Let us know how you use this tool, so that we can share with others.

As always, please feel free to use the feedback forms available at the bottom of every page to let us know what improvements you would like to see in ManageMyIdeas. Enjoy!

What’s Next?

Idea sharing! Maybe you have a business idea, a group project at school, or a work project…all of these involve groups of people that share ideas with one another.

Currently, ManageMyIdeas is set-up so that an individual can quickly create and develop ideas. A future update will allow users to share ideas with one another by forming groups. Users will have the option to keep an idea private or to share the idea with a group. Private ideas will only be visible to you, while group ideas will be visible to all the members of your group. More details about idea sharing will be provided once we get closer to releasing the feature.

On a side note, we are grateful to all those who have joined ManageMyIdeas over the past week. We want you to add as many ideas to the site as possible, so that we can test the site stability, speed, and database size. Thanks to all those who have used the feedback tool. The feedback will help us make the site better, so if you see something you like or dislike just let us know. Enjoy!

About ManageMyIdeas

Friday, November 17th, 2006

ManageMyIdeas began on October 12, 2006. ManageMyIdeas has gone from idea to reality in about 30 days. My brother, Brad, and I needed a place to track our ideas, so we made ManageMyIdeas. ManageMyIdeas works well for us, so now we are sharing it with you.

Brad lives in California and I live in Utah. We call each other and talk for hours about our business ideas (a skill that we learned from our Dad). Well…after hundreds of ideas (some of which are pretty good) we finally created a tool to help us list, develop, and evaluate our ideas.

ManageMyIdeas is still being developed. There are several ideas that we have for the site, but we would like you to try it out and let us know what you like and don’t like. We have a feedback link on each page that you can use to communicate with Brad and me.

Brad and I will be using this page as a blog to keep you posted on our development. Enjoy!
