Creative Sparks - Some Creativity Websites
photo credit: neurolleroI just rediscovered a site I used to visit a lot - the WhyNot? Idea Exchange. People post ideas that they would like to see implemented and have feedback from others on how it can be done. For instance, Real Time Luggage Insurance or Recycled Shower H2O. This is a place for people to vet their ideas or for people like myself, who like to get inspiration from other ideas. Ultimately, ideas are generally not original, but just variations on a theme. This is just another place to go and gather up ideas to help create foundations for your own creativity.
Then I saw the WhyNot? link page and figured I would pull some of those links (those that still work) and then add some new links that I have found to be useful when I am trying to do some creative thinking.
