Default Re: The product developers idea farm & How to become a famous Artist

Interesting post Boyd. I have just finished
a fairly exhaustive look back at many of the major
inventions in last 200 years. Care to guess
at what the #1 technique was for inventing
highly successful products? Serendipity. That's
right, most of them were created to solve a
smaller problem or simply were stumbled upon
by accident - much like your web surfing example.

The halfbakery site is just super. Very closely
aligned with what master innovator Joey Reiman
talks about in his book "Thinking for a Living"
He talks about ideas being this generations real
currency. In fact, his newest project has taken
him from years in the advertising industry to
running idea generation groups.

Fascinating topic.
