Edison Nation

Anyone familiar with this here Edison Nation? Apparently there is a show on PBS where people bring their home inventions for the world to see. Cool idea.

Since its debut, Edison Nation has hosted product searches for the likes of Walmart, Bed Bath & Beyond, Hammacher Schlemmer, Lifetime Brands, Spencer’s, WD-40, WestPoint Home and Yahoo! Hundreds of inventors have submitted products for consideration.

“I find it very rewarding and productive to actually work on an idea geared to fit a vendor’s search criteria,” says Avery, who made it on season three of Everyday Edisons with a bakeware product. “I’ve always been creative and have come up with ideas for all sorts of things, but never had the means or the resources to make them happen. Edison Nation changes all of that.”

Edison Nation owes its origins to the PBS television series Everyday Edisons. Unable to feature all the promising products screened at casting calls held in cities across the country, those attached to the show launched the open-innovation Web portal.
