Get rich off your web-team of avatars

I came across the website through a random google on crowdsourcing.  The idea behind this website (listed in detail here http://www.cambrianhouse.com/how-it-works/ ) is basically that you submit your original idea along with other user submissions, users on the website vote on their favorites and the winner after a certain period of time receives “credits” and a cash to get it started.  Next you choose some of the qualified and interested users to help you finalize your product into becoming a success!  Cambrian House then backs your idea with online marketing and you’re on your way.

It’s a cool idea but I think this website may be shutting down to move to a new location  http://vencorps.com/but I think the reason it did this is it now can receive more funding which means a bigger pay out to the users involved.

Some of the ideas used in the past include Author Honors where aspiring authors can pitch ideas to users online and gain feedback or get help when they’ve hit a mental block, and the Robin Hood Fund where “users essentially post their sob story and the community votes to see who is most deserving of a payout.”

Cool ideas coming from anonymous users.
