So venture hacks made a post Free ideas , which talks about Laserlike giving away free ideas since people worry to much about protecting them and not enough time about launching them.

Wow! What a novel concept. I have been doing this for a while now and never got any street cred from VH or anyone else. Where is my managing director gig?

I did notice some of his ideas have already been done or are being done, like the broadcast SMS to groups idea. Can’t remember who is doing it, but I had downloaded it on my old cell phone a year or two ago. I think the companies name starts with a “P”. I guess company “P” didn’t have proper branding as I can’t remember them. Guess that means the idea isn’t so good either since I didn’t use it more than once or twice.

I do think Mike Speiser’s has the right idea (no pun), maybe he read my blog before, holding on to your ideas is worthless, as someone will eventually come up with the same idea later. As the case with the group SMS shows. I have personally found this out the hardway a couple of years ago and since then having been giving away the ideas I don’t have time or money to implement. The others I am developing or outsourcing as I write.

So cheers Mike Speiser’s, “On your way you are”.
