NOD IdeaPals offers two $50,000 prizes for beta testers

IdeaPals is the evolution of an inspiration transforming into a thought, then an idea into a reality. It is about users, and content, and websites, and humans, and machines. It is about collaboration, in person, remotely, and from across the world.

The inspiration for Ideapals.org sprouted from IdeaBlob and Bloblive. IdeaBlob and Bloblive were social networking sites, basically a blog for business ideas. They were sponsored by a east-coast based bank called Advanta, that wanted to issue credit cards to entrepreneurs and small businesses, so Bloblive was born, with cameras, live feeds, local media representatives, and an uncanny ability to get on the front page of Twitter every time. The idea was that the press and other online and media exposure would cause ideas to get funded. Unfortunately, Advanta went bankrupt and the very popular Bloblive could not adjust to a user-paid revenue model quickly enough, so it failed.

Solomon, CEO of MoviePals and IdeaPals, developed an open-source type model for film-making, while utilizing advances in bandwidth and storage technology to make it possible for novices and professional all over the world to collaborate and make films.

Together, Solomon and Brian Bentow founded Moviepals Entertainment – based on the press and notoriety Solomon had gained from his low-cost film-making ventures and the extensive press and buzz created for that aspect of the business by Bloblive, including write-ups in the Los Angeles Times, and a host of others, including National Public Radio (NPR). MoviePals.org recieves over 1,000 unique visitors a day and this is only the beginning.

For what would cost millions only few years ago, IdeaPals.org, the website that offers jobs, networking and even hosting social events, was built by Solomon Rothman and Brian Bentow in two months, due to modern day technology and collaboration.
