Free Tool for Product Improvement Ideas

There is a tool called “V1: Agile Ideas – Give Customers a Voice” @ https://ideaspace.versionone.com/default.

It’s really an expensive tool which comes with V1: Agile Enterprise and used to share product improvement / enhancement ideas. Almost like Google Ideas

I saw a related tool for ideas sharing on web used by Google Internally

Google Ideas looks like a forum to submit new product ideas. Others can then rate the product (from “Great idea! Make it so” to “Dangerous or harmful if implemented”) or discuss it, and there’s also a “buzz” factor to evaluate the usefulness of a suggestion.
