Blob Your Idea, Win $10,000

Just blob it! That's the idea behind the beta version of a new website called IdeaBlob.com. The site is calling all entrepreneurs and small-biz owners to brainstorm their best business ideas and submit them online. Then, entrepreneurs can watch how well their idea is received as people vote for their top picks. Each month, the idea with the most votes wins $10,000. In addition, aspiring small-business owners can get valuable feedback from their idea submissions, much like they would if they actually formed a research group. "[IdeaBlob] also gives potential business owners a chance to 'try out' new ideas among other entrepreneurial types in a supportive and encouraging environment," said Ami Kassar, chief innovation officer of Advanta, the company that announced the launch. The contest ends on March 31, so get blobbing!
