How I store my ideas now: Evernote, 'nuff said. However notes are organized in Evernote seems to be the perfect way for me to organize my ideas. I can just create a separate note or notebook to collect all the related ideas in one place, and I can write down my ideas in the most organic form possible.

Also, some critiques on the app's features based on what's written above:

1. People probably don't want to use an app for organizing ideas that actually SHARES those ideas with other people.

2. When I have an idea that's still a little abstract, I think the idea pointing system is kind of useless because obviously I'll have to spend more time thinking about it, but I still have to write it down. I'm just saying, it doesn't always have to be put out in the open for feedback right away.

3. Idea validation is, from my experience, better off done via conversation with the people you trust the most. So either I'm saying that automating that process is less useful, OR you can make the app a bit more social by allowing only a user's most trusted friends to evaluate the idea. That way you don't scare away people from your app because of number 1.
