Hi Dave - There are actually two sides to this project. A Startup A Day is a brainstorming excercise where myself and occasionally others throw out ideas that we think might be interesting. As you might expect from any brainstorming excercise, most of the ideas typically have some major flaws and probably aren't worth investing the time needed to do a prototype or beta (especially when you have a fairly demanding full-time job).
However, a few months ago we kicked off a new site called "A Startup A Week", which is a video series where we brought together small teams and gave them one week to build a prototype. At the end of the week, the teams would then present their ideas to a panel of judges (including angel investors). We're still playing with the format, but the ultimate idea is that the best ideas generated from the Startup A Day site would then feed into the Startup A Week show. Full disclosure - while the Startup A Day site is my own personal site, the Startup A Week show is sponsored by Microsoft (where I work) and features sites built primarily (but not exclusively) with MS web technologies.
