Everday Edisons led me believe my iproduct was not marketable, then sold it to someone else Internet

In 2008, I came up with great product idea that I thought could make me alot of money. I quickly realized I didnt have the resources to produce and market the product and decided I would present it to the people at Everyday Edisons to hopefully be chosen. A friend and I drove all the way from Charlotte to Atlanta to attend the Everday Edison convention only to be told my idea was good but not quite right for them. I was very discouraged and didnt persue a patent. Big mistake, this month in Oprah magazine, I saw my "newly invented product". When you present your ideas to Everyday Edison, you only have one year, maybe less in which to obtain a patent, after that, the idea or product is there's.

What's the chance someone else could have just happened to come up with my same product...hummm....probably the same odds as winning the lottery, and I'm still waiting for that call.

People, if your reading this, first off, believe in yourself and dont give your ideas to someone else like I did. As for you Everyday Edison, shame on you!
