Is it a stupid idea??

Keep one thing in mind before you make your decision:

Once you put it up there, it's "there" forever - on the web that is. People will download it, distribute it etc. Forever and ever. Even if you delete it from YouTube, it's already out.

Now, think 5, 10, 20 years from now. Is this video something you may regret? Does it put you in a bad light? Do you want your future employers to see it? How about future husband and children?

If you think it will not be something you will regret, then do it. If you have a doubt, don't.

What good idea doesn't work because people are stupid?

The baggage carousels at airports.For the love of god, just leave 3-4 metres of free space around it. Like that people can see their bags and can pick them up without hitting other people.

Yahoo Answers is a good idea. Why do idiots ruin it with stupid questions?

The Internet has shown us how truly stupid a lot of people are. Why do they have to continue to demonstrate their idiocy by ruining Yahoo's perfectly good idea about a place to ask and answer questions with their ignorant "funny" "questions"? Aren't there a million chat rooms and message boards for that stuff?

Do you think promise rings are a stupid idea?

I'm not saying in general but more so in the case of 17 year-olds. I'm not against jewelery obviously, but I think a guy giving a girl who he's been with for mere months a promise ring, and at such a young age, is kid of .. well .. silly. I'm not pessimistic or against love (I've been with my boyfriend for 2 years now) and he's giving me a RING for our anniversary next month, but it's not a "promise" ring. A ring doesn't make you trust someone. Does anyone else agree with me? Or do I sound bitter?

What's the most stupid idea for an app or website?

Shake To Charge Battery — claims to enable you to charge your phone just by shaking it. Uh, no. Despite millions of downloads and user reviews suckered in by some placebo effect, the app does not actually work. In fact, the fine print on the description even says, "Note: Of course this application is not charging your phone. It's for fun purposes only." Shaking your phone for hours — so much fun!I Am Rich: When this app first came out, it cost $999 and it did little more than display the words "I am rich" and a red gem on the phone's screen. Apparently, eight people shelled out a grand each and downloaded it before Apple shut it down. Now you can get a free replica of the classic app from the Google Play store.Hangtime: When you throw your phone in the air, it measures how much "hang time" you get. Even better, it used to share your results with others competing for the most hang time ever!! Um, throw your phone in the air?? To be fair, the description now advises you NOT to throw the phone in the air, just to keep it in your pocket as you jump. So maybe this one isn't so much about dumb apps as dumb users.SimStapler: Take it from the ad: This app "brings all of the thrill and excitement of a real stapler right to the palm of your hand." My favorite part of this app is that CNN once listed it in the "Top 10 must-have iPhone apps." Because we just don't get enough stapling in the real world- let's take stapling virtual!Wobble: Move the targets onto particular parts of a still image on your phone and make those parts jiggle. Not a lot of imagination needed to figure out what body parts are most often targeted.

Why do my ideas seem so brilliant in the night, but stupid in the morning?

You have got 2 of most important 3 ingredients of success.You are Dreamer, who is creative in night.You are critic during day, who knows where venture can fail.Last piece to success is introduce a REALIST in you. Here’s how it works.Next time you dream about something, get up and write it in small piece of paper (in night itself)Morning when critic starts criticising, allow him for few minutes and write down all possible point that can make idea look foolish (or fails it). (Eg. you don't have skills, you don't have money, you have other responsibilities etc.)Introduce Mr Realist and ask him to address above criticism “ONE at a TIME”.you don't have time — what does realist says - is it really not possible to allocate time for this or i can start small?you don't have skills - what does realist says - am i so dumb that never in my life i will hone this skill or i can plan and start building that skill?You have other responsibilities - does realist say that you can handle both ‘old and new’ responsibilities or does Mr Realist says of 10 old responsibilities 3 can be handed over to someone or stopped and there can be space for new one?Realist will have answer for most of your criticism and more important for your dream on how to make it real.DO ALL THIS STRICTLY AS PAPER BASED EXERCISE AND NOT IN MIND.AND WRITE TO ME BEFORE YOU EVEN THINK OF KILLING YOUR WIERDEST DREAM.Good luck.

How do you write great, smart stories out of stupid ideas?

There aren’t really any stupid ideas, only poor execution.It’s a bit like saying “the colour red symbolises anger or violence”, when in fact the colour red itself isn’t inherently anything.An idea by itself isn’t anything either, and could be shaped into many things.It’s key to note that you can have a great idea and end up with poor execution also.So whether you’re starting with a genius idea or a slightly unusual one, you’ll need to be a good writer to make a good story out of it, meaning that the process is basically the same either way.In a nutshell you need to think “how could this idea turn out bad?”, and then do the opposite of that.By it’s nature an idea should be vague, if it’s getting too specific then it’s not an idea - it’s an execution.“An old lady and a racist own an intergalactic ice cream van”.Kinda weird, on first glance it’s a tough brief.However once you get past your preconceived notions you’ll notice that many parts of this ‘idea’ are extremely vague and up for being defined.What style of story is it - funny, serious, surreal?Who is the old lady, who is the racist? If it was Donald Trump it could be quite humourous and satirical, for example.What’s the setting? Present day? In the future? The beginning of time?And so on.It’s about thinking outside the box and not taking anything for granted - looking at how the idea could be made into something decent, instead of sat there thinking about how bad the idea is, or trying to turn the idea into something it’s not.Some great advice from It's Not How Good You Are, It's How Good You Want to Be | General Non-fiction | Phaidon StoreIF YOU know that your client's logo or product has to be big in an ad, don't hope that it will fit in the corner somewhere unobtrusively. It won't. Begin with that as a constraint for generating ideas.
