[IdeaOverflow -- A place people can share good ideas that they don't necessarily have time to implement themselves online. I want to make a map, a connected graph, of all of peoples' ideas (and implemented engineering projects) that shows the relationship of these projects to one another. At the borders of this graph would lie the ideas that are yet to be implemented -- investigating them more deeply would be analogous to exploring undiscovered terrain on a map. This tool would help people tof come up with awesome ideas for hackathons, class projects, startups, and fun, and it also allow people to see the trends/relationships in exciting ideas that are surging at a given point in time. Most of all, it's inspiring to think that through this system, you could bring vitality to the education industry by reducing every class project to, at worst, implementing an idea that someone, somewhere would be really excited to build if they had the time to. #intentiondb ~jcole@mit.edu](mailto:jcole@mit.edu)
