Good Ideas for Good Causes Bonus:

There’s also a special $50 bonus for the creator of the project that is voted by the IO community to have been the best project in terms of gathering the most useful ideas to solve problems faced by a charity or a charitable cause (eg, Campaign Ideas to help in Japan’s Disaster Relief, Ideas to Solve a Problem the Red Cross or another organization may be facing, Ideas to help minimize the impact of future disasters around the world, etc).  For the best chance at being a real help, ask a charity what they could use some good ideas to help solve.

New feature – Responder ratings and response filters!

Posted on March 30th, 2011 by Dan

All IdeaOffer users now have three ratings:

Response quality -

This shows how responses have been rated when selected as a winner by project creators.

Ratings are gathered when project creators take this survey after selecting the winning response(s):
Response was complete and addressed all project instructions (1-5 stars)
Response was well researched and citations were provided where appropriate (1-5 stars)
Response was highly creative (1-5 stars)
Response included clear steps for implementation/execution (1-5 stars)
Response introduced ideas not previously considered (1-5 stars)

Response was polite and well written (1-5 stars)

Selection rating -

This shows how often a responder has been selected out of how many ideas they’ve posted in a particular category compared with the same measure for all other users.

Earnings rating -

This is a measure of responder earnings in a particular category compared with the same measure for all other users.

Project creators can now filter and sort the responses they receive based on these ratings and other factors!

Log in to check out your profile and see your ratings; start responding to projects to get more ratings!

New feature – New project list and favorites!

Posted on March 30th, 2011 by Dan

The new project list includes some new columns: the eye graphic column shows which projects immediately display submitted ideas and which keep idea responses hidden; to identify which type a project whether an idea request, a survey, or a contest; and a favorites column in order to designate certain projects in your own personal favorites list and come back to them later.

Log in and start keeping an eye on your favorite projects now.
