The Idea (Deep inside, we are better than we think.)
I was reading an article which make it clear that more than 90% of the new start-ups are only clones and very few are coming with really new and useful solutions….
Driving to my office in the morning, I started to think what kind of software/technology we need to really improve our lives.
I was thinking on the other side that, because our ego, thousands of good ideas are perishing. Here is how it goes usually: an individual is having an idea that may be brilliant. He is thinking: “Hmm.. this is a great idea! I would like to make money with that, I think it can produce wealth.. I’m not going to tell anybody about it! I’ll try to put it in practice.”
And of course, only a very few succeed. But on the other hand, he is not making his idea public: “Why should other guys take MY idea and become rich instead of ME?”
So we all lose.
For the future, I will try to publish online any idea that crosses my mind and I think is useful. Probably lots exists already and I don’t know about it. But maybe some are not yet there.. Since it is less probably I’ll start up something now – here we go, one more idea ;)
+Zone Legal Online Gaming (yes, is very niche). An online service where you can subscribe and will offer you up to date legal information about all countries and states in the world that are allowing online gaming. We encountered this problem in our company I’m working right now at CapturePlay. Since we are not a big company, we cannot afford an entire team of layers and researchers to pay and to keep us updated with all the regions in the world where we have to interdict or allow people to play our games.
Ideally, this will be a web service to hook into our app and dynamically allow or ban the IPs coming for those regions.
BTW, if you know about a service like this, please let me know, we need it.
OK, that is for today. If I’ll have more time to list, more ideas will be published.
Cheers!
PS – One of my favorite books – Roadside Picnic by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky, is ending like this – To the Wish Machine: “Look into my heart. I know that everything you need is in there. It has to be. I never sold my soul to anyone! It’s mine, it’s human! You take from me what it is I want… it just can’t be that I would want something bad! Damn it all, I can’t think of anything, except those words of his… ’HAPPINESS FOR EVERYBODY, FREE, AND NO ONE WILL GO AWAY UNSATISFIED!’ ”
Deep inside, we are better than we think.
