We’ve been hard at work over here and have 2 new features we wanted to tell you about (that you may already have noticed):

Related Ideas—Many of you have commented on the number of repeat ideas on the site (recycling, free wifi anyone?). We’re hoping that Related Ideas will help. Now, when you go to share an idea, you’ll get a dynamically generated list of 5 ideas that are already on the site related to your idea title. So instead of entering a new idea that’s a repeat, you can just click over to the existing idea and add your vote.

Favorites—We’ve also gotten lots of requests for an easier way to keep track of ideas you’re interested in. Now you can “fav” any idea (click on the “fav this” link below the idea body) and it will add it to your favorites. You can access your favorites by clicking on the “My Favorites” link just below your inbox link. So Fav away!
