General feedback
Great concept! There are way too many things people would like to see change around our stores...thanks for providing this service.
I rather not login to vote on the idea and if I have to, can you provide OpenID so I can login with facebook/twitter? Also, it would be cool if you could share ideas with your friends/followers on facebook/twitter so they can help vote.
The tags section is a bit distracting..maybe you were trying to use the Best Buy tag logo...I'd rather see it without boxes...just show me text so I can easily find what i'm looking for. Use font size to define how many times that tag has been created.
At the bottom of the main page you have "Here's some ideas." I think you want "Here are some ideas"
In the recent idea section, some ideas are more than 3 lines and overlap the bottom box outline...looks odd
Great use of colors, organization, style, graphics, and concepts. I can see myself using this site often.
The title "My idea is" in the subject line of your idea form isn't real clear that you want that line to contain the title of the idea instead of a summary or something. On that page it also would be really nice if I could click the "how it works" boxes and get sent to the correct page. I think new users will be frustrated that the front page tells me I can do "X" but I don't know how to get there.
Some of the ideas on the site right now are actually really cool.
I would also consider having the bestbuy tag on the upper left corner send you to the best buy site instead of the idea X home page. Have the idea X icon send you to the idea X homepage still.
Another top notch site. This is great. It doesn't hurt that it's a Ruby on Rails site too! My initial gut reaction was "Why didn't BB just use GetSatisfaction or UserVoice for this" but the site itself looks phenomenal.
It would be really nice if you could vote on ideas without needing an account. Of course then you have to deal with all the possibilities of vote-fraud so I understand your choice.
The idea pages are also very well done and just look great to me. Not much I can say other than be careful with the width of the name badges in the comments. I was looking at the top idea about the plastic packaging and noticed that the badge for "Best Buy Mobile"s comment ran over the little avatar image on the left side due to the length of the name.
Also love the little hand-written "Just had an idea?" bit with the pointer to the new idea link, very cool. Details, nice.
