Brain storming / crowdsourcing with Twitter

Have a peek at this idea as resported by the team at Springwise.com - http://springwise.com/weekly/2009-09-09.htm#ideasculture.

It’s awesome - giving a Team a tricky problem and waking up the next morning to a bunch of solutions!

From my side, I can think of using this internally for feedback from staff on how to improve a product / process flow or literally anything. Giving it a time limit is also very clever, as it creates a happening and immediate vibe around an issue.

Will the potential applications for Twitter never end?
