US Government is using Idea Scale to get consensus and create some new innovative ideas to spur IT. IdeaScale, which is a crowdsourcing tool produced by Survey Analytics, is gaining serious traction as a crowdsourcing tool for government agencies. As on date more than 23 agencies in the U.S. Federal Government are using IdeaScale to power crowdsourcing initiatives.

Idea Scale allows people to submit their ideas and then people can continously vote for each idea so the most voted idea keeps getting to the top.

Similar to Idea Scale in concept is One Billion Minds in India where people think, ideate, solve, win and help create a difference. More on the social front, One Billion Minds is an excellent concept to help solve social issues.

Crowdsourcing is slowly getting a few followers.
