Have you ever noticed how many of the best ideas seemingly come out of nowhere?  Some of the most productive brainstorming sessions occur when radical free thinking is encouraged and then the most interesting inputs are correlated later.   This process decouples the wasteful filtering that normally accompanies discussion and allows the team to push the boundaries of creativity.

An interesting web site created by Cheru Jackson called Alpha Inventions or alphainventions.com brings this meta-concept, called random stimulation, to the blog world.   The idea is to expose a wide audience to random blogs in a way that fosters creativity.  In Cheru’s words:

The purpose of Alpha Inventions is to connect bloggers with each other in a faster way, so there are no gaps in communication.

This is a very intriguing concept that creates a random collaborative environment.  Regular use of the tool could expand the collective knowledge base of the blogosphere in unpredictable and valuable ways.

Here’s a video that explains the underlying concept more clearly:
