What do you do with big ideas?
mixmax: Years ago a good hacker friend of mine and I thought we would start writing down all the good ideas we had. We only wrote down the really good ones. After half a year we had more than 50 ideas that were all patentable, gamechanging or could make lots and lots of money. Some of them have later been implemented successfully by startups vouching for the fact they were indeed pretty good ideas. At least some of them :-)We stopped because it became obvious to us that a binder (yes this was before computers were in wide use) full of great ideas is worth exactly nothing.So what do I do when I come up with a great idea? I forget it as quickly as possible so I can concentrate on executing what I'm doing now.
