If you've ever thought you could come up with better stuff than what's out there, then it's time to get your Kluster on.
Just-launched
Kluster.com was started by the founder of Mophie, an iPod accessory company that launched a successful product by asking consumers and retailers what they wanted and selecting the most popular design, Kluster takes the same approach to a broad range of other products and services from other companies.
After registering and submitting a profile of your background and areas of expertise, you choose projects to collaborate on with other idea people, working on the development of real products with real companies. With the potential to earn real cash.
Using electrical metaphors, members earn "watts" (which is Kluster currency), for giving ideas, participating in surveys, etc. You can then invest your watts in "sparks", which are ideas or proposed solutions to a problem. If the spark you invested in is chosen, you can earn rewards. Which may include actual real dollars. Not bad for putting your two cents (or two watts), in on a project.
Time will tell if having large groups decide on product development is an ingenious method of creating incredible success in the market, or if it will become, as anyone who has ever sat through a day-long marketing meeting will tell you, a cluster f*ck.
