We often brainstorm about things we would like to build. I was recently looking at the Rockefeller/InnoCentive partnership. InnoCentive is a place where you post problems you'd like solved.

But, I thought I'd share some of these ideas so people have some picture of what we're thinking about.

The cold, hard truth about the ice bucket challenge - Quartz. The key problem is funding cannibalism. That $3 million in donations doesn’t appear out of a vacuum.
