Dallas, Texas (PRWEB) October 11, 2007
Lisa Lloyd, inventor of the million-dollar product, "The French Twister", has been helping independent inventors be more successful through her invention and patent workshops and seminars for some time now. She now will share her knowledge and expertise with a broader online audience by partnering with IdeaTango.com, an web site that brings Internet-based tools to the inventor community.
"The power of the Internet continues to amaze me," said Lisa Lloyd. "This will be the first time that power will be fully harnessed to help the inventor community through practical tools and knowledge."
According to an MIT report, as many as 97% of patents never become commercially viable. Currently there are thousands of people with potentially viable inventions who have no idea how to approach a company with their idea or bring it to market.
Lisa has seen the Internet greatly impact several aspects of everyday life, such as finding employees, researching companies, and connecting old classmates. She wanted to harness that same online power to help inventors move their ideas to the next level, learn more about the process or share knowledge with fellow inventors. That's why she recognizes the value in a social networking website, such as Ideatango.com.
In collaboration with Lisa Lloyd, IdeaTango.com has recently developed a much anticipated new and improved version of its website that promises the product-development community useful collaborative tools, interactive forms, and educational resources, all within a web-based platform. IdeaTango.com will premiere its new website at the Yankee Invention Expo, in Waterbury, Conn., on Oct. 11-13, 2007. The launch will be accompanied by an announcement of a major online invention contest offering thousands in money and prizes, and culminating at next summer's Lone Star Inventor Expo in Dallas.
"With the popularity of television programs like American Inventor and the vast resources now available on the Internet, there has never been a better time for inventors to take their products to market," said IdeaTango.com president and founder Bryan Daigle. "Our company looks forward to working with Lisa Lloyd in helping inventors make their invention idea into the next big thing."
