Do you know someone important in Microsoft?

    Hello Everyone,

    Yesterday I was thinking on one of my "big ideas". It is a really good concept that can at least injure google considerably, if not destroy it. I had been planning to save it until I had the resources to execute it on my own. However weighing the situation, I realized that creating the global platform needed for it to make the billions I know it can, could take longer than I want it to. So thinking about the environment I realized Mircrosft is in the perfect position to do it. My idea can use 2 of Microsofts most known and used software progams which with the bridge my idea provides, can add the global monopoly of online advertisement to Microsofts assets, destroying all the competition and potentially, not only making it king in the online ads category but also in user searches. Added to all that, it could reduce Microsofts losses related to software piracy by a nice margin wherever there is access to the internet.

    Unfortunately I have no contacts within Microsoft to help me get the idea to the visionaries inside the company that have the authority to implement it, which is why I am writing this thread. So if anybody knows someone in Microsft with enough relevance and the possibility to listen to the concept and take it to the "higher authorities" inside the company, please let me know. Any contact that can virtually help me make this first step will be appreciated.

    If you have any ideas for Microsoft then contact them through Feedback. They always read feedbacks and even reply

    Hi. Thanks to those that replied to this thread. I was able to contact Don Dodge at Microsoft and I was informed Microsoft doesn´t accept idea submissions to avoid legal conflicts related to intellectual property and the likes. However I was able to redefine how to get the idea to them and I am currently working on it right now. And for the record pneulameiro, I wasn´t planning to give the idea up for free. It is very valuable and I was and am planning to sell it but in a more elaborate way.

    why dont you use your great strategy and start your own business and compete with the big dogs, they too were not so big once and had to start somewhere. or maybe you will find somebody who knows somebody on the inside who would love to have your free ideas, whatever happens - goodluck with it.

    :)

    So are you actually saying it is possible to push some ideas through to Microsoft? I too have some, a whole list of ideas to be precise. I was even once heard to have boasted that I could make MSN the Number 1 Search engine of the world... and I still believe I can :p

    How do you get your ideas past this "intellectual property" then? In fact, I have no objections to Microsoft using my "intellectual property" :)
