Have An Idea, Leave An Idea...

You know the penny tray up at the counter of most stores? Short a couple of cents? Don't want 98 cents worth of change to carry around from your $4.02 purchase? So you grab a couple of pennies from the tray to make life easier.

Conversely, got a copper or two back in change? Donate 'em to the tray! It's a give-and-take that doesn't cost much and makes life run a tiny bit smoother.

Now what if you took the Penny Tray Concept and applied it to ideas and inventions? That's where sites like Creativity Pool, ShouldExist and halfbakery.com come into play.

Got wonderful ideas to make life a little bit easier? They don't have to be biggies like the cure for cancer or how to ensure world peace. Maybe it's just an idea on how to automatically pair up your socks out of the laundry. You know, the good stuff.
