Idea: let companies/brands create accounts and commit to implementing features. Give them report cards based on the number of features they commit to and actually implement. Maybe include pages for individual products, and grade them individually. This could be a really useful tool to find out which product lines are actually getting love from makers.

Came here to say this. Also if you could use the requests to put pressure on companies to make specific changes, I'd assume they would be receptive to you helping them get feedback.

@smurph, definitely something I'd love to implement if brands really find the feedback useful. Here's a question: Do you think this tool would be most useful to brands--as a consumer research tool? Or to 3rd-party producers who are interested in seeing what market exists for new products/feature requests?

The idea is not exactly new or popular (without proper moderation it inevitably turns into spammy, ads-filled swamp), and a request to log in to see more then 14 suggestions doesn't look all that inviting.

Also: Great, now we are moving from '-er without -e-' to '-v- instead of -u-'! I really hope it won't catch up. I mean, Romans were cool guys, but my brain constantly trips over unexpected V; it feels like noise, and not like a not-so-svbtle attempt at bringing in some Latin style. Sorry for the grvmbling.
