So you’ve got a great idea. Good. Where do you go from there? I know i’ve found myself asking that very question more than a few times. I’d like to try to start a discussion on how to take that step from creativity to creation.
SO I GOT THIS IDEA:
New ideas are the key to change. YouTube, Digg, Flickr, Facebook, all are great sites that were created because something didn’t already exist. Personally I keep a little notebook with me pretty much all of the time to write down any good ideas I come up with. My own view on creativity isn’t so much that great ideas are born, but rather that they are derived from problems or gaps in that which already exists.
Great new ideas are solutions to problems. What did YouTube do, it allowed anyone to post and share video online, and make it easily available. How about Facebook? Well MySpace already existed, but Facebook took the preexisting group of college students and enabled then not only to network as MySpace did, but made it easier to network among college students. Being able to solve a problem, or to be more efficiently solve a problem is what enables a new idea to take off.
WHAT DO I DO WITH MY IDEA?
The better question here is what can you do? When I come up with a new idea I try as best I can to diagram it. What does this new idea for a site, a web application, etc., what does it do? By breaking down you idea into parts it will be easier to deal with and to create. Breaking down you idea allows you to see what you can create using your skillset, and what you may need to seek out the help of others for.
