Have a brilliant idea to share with your world? Plant the seed with SeedSpeak! Place your seed anywhere on the map and watch as your community helps turn it into a reality.
No bright ideas right now? No problem! SeedSpeak lets you discover seeds around you based on location, category, keyword and popularity. Add your ideas, volunteer your time and use your connections to help grow your favorite seeds!
SeedSpeak is a social network designed to help you quickly share great ideas with friends, neighbors and everyone else in your community. Here's an example. Say you know of an empty city-owned lot that you think would be an ideal place for a public park. SeedSpeak makes it easier than ever to turn your idea into a reality! Using the SeedSpeak website or iPhone app, simply place your idea (aka a 'seed') on the map right where you'd like to build the park. You can add a description, photos or video to help explain your idea and then categorize it as 'neighborhood cleanup' or 'parks and recreation.' You can even add tags to make it easier to find. Through the website or iPhone app, other SeedSpeakers can then discover your idea, build on it, volunteer their time or use their connections to build that new park. Even elected officials, public agencies or community groups can help grow your idea!
How many times have you had a great idea, wanted to follow up on it, but never get the chance to make it happen? SeedSpeak is a convenient way of instantly sharing those sudden, bright ideas with people around us, and to help get them involved. Whether you are at home, taking a walk through the neighborhood, riding the bus to work or in line at the post office, all you need is SeedSpeak to turn great ideas into action.
SeedSpeak is a great tool for community improvement, but it's potential doesn't stop there. Imagine a world where no mountains, email inboxes, phone trees or Twitter searches stood in between your ideas and the people who can make them happen. Plant the seed, and see where the world takes it!
Once you plant a seed, other SeedSpeakers discover it by location, category and keyword. SeedSpeakers grow the seed by adding their own thoughts and ideas, rating the seed, promoting it through their own social networks, and making commitments to real-life action. You and others can see how many seeds you have planted, how popular they are, how long they've been growing or how many are now completed projects.
The launch of our full-featured website is just around the corner, and our iPhone application is scheduled to launch February 2011. If you'd like to be one of the first to know when it is available, enter your name and email in the form on the right.
Are you a community member, community leader, community organizer, public agency, non-profit, business person, journalist, or just plain full of great ideas? Then the answer is yes! SeedSpeak is a great tool to share and grow ideas that matter to you.
