Your best bet probably would be a blog, perhaps focused on how to change existing things with different or better ideas. Unfortunately, there are so many ideas flying around everywhere, that nobody really cares all that much about particular ideas in only that form....the idea form.

Instead, people are working on implementing their own ideas, or a company has a product and likely already has thought of the modification (and it`s in the works), thought of it and rejected it for business reasons, or they won`t take your thoughts because they don`t want to get into licensing issues.

All in all, unless you want to work out the idea yourself, or develop prototypes or market feasibility, it`s likely going to be an uphill battle to do this.

I appreciate your honesty. But I`m sure there is someone out there that wants ideas/good ideas and would be willing to do something about it. Any other comments are welcomed  :)

I think Craig is right, you`re going to have a hard time finding people to shell out cash for ideas that have no prototypes, examples, proposals, or anything. At the very least you should have some schematic drawings, a couple white papers, and a patent pending or two. Even then you`re still going to have a hard time.

But if you really wanted to ask around, you could try tracking down some VC firms and/or angel investor groups in your area. Another option might be entrepreneur or tech-biz clubs at a local college or university. You do know you run the risk of having someone just steal your ides outright though without some kind of intellectual property protection, right?
