Tell people about your idea, or keep it to yourself?
jonnytran: I used to not tell anyone much more than a brief gist.  But as time and projects have gone by, I'm starting to switch viewpoints.Basically, 90% of the people I talk to couldn't implement my idea or simply don't care.  Those that could implement it won't, b/c they think they have better ideas.  Of the few who could and might, it's your job to convince them that their best chance of making it work is by joining you.On top of that, I've found that talking about what you're going to do is a self-fulfilling prophecy.That said, I would never go around telling the juiciest parts of my ideas to people I didn't already trust, or post them online where anyone and their mom can steal them without much remorse.
