Most people who know me think I'm fairly creative (or crazy, depending on how you look at it). Once I heard someone
say that only 10% of the ideas that most people have are any good. My theory has always been
that means there are two methods of maximising the number of good ideas I could possibly have, I'm going to make sure
I use both of them. Bear that in mind when you read the rest of this.....
I have always been aware that most of my ideas are very derivative - I just repackage something someone else invented.
Five minutes ago, though, I think I came up with an idea for a program that no one else has ever had, let alone implemented.
I call it the Fiki. Imagine a Wiki, except that instead of creating links LikeSo, the software analyzes each
phrase and automagically creates links to pages that talk about that phrase. How cool would that be?
I think that is the best idea I've ever had - even better than my idea for a swimming cap and goggles all-in-one which
I had before Speedo came out with it at the Atlanta Olympics. I can't understand why no-one used it - I guess it did
look kind of odd.... ;-)
Anyhow - what do people think? Is this a good idea, or do I need to return to reality and become a chef or something?
