17,002 | comment | cwilbur | 2007-04-26T15:30:14 | null | Ideas are easy. Execution matters.<p>You can either do the idea better than she does, or you can start working on another idea. Given that she's outsourcing the development, either one should be feasible.<p>Suing over ideas is just a waste of effort; the only people who come out ahead in the end are the lawyers.<p>

17,008 | comment | budu3 | 2007-04-26T15:45:47 | null | I think you should launch your idea ASAP to compete with hers. Since she's using an off-shore dev team you might be more nimble in execution than she is. It's harder to explain to a bunch of guys over the phone exactly what you need done. I wouldn't advice partnering with her. You wouldn't want such a close business relationship with someone you can't trust. | null | null | 16,972 | 16,972 | null | null | null | null |

17,011 | comment | natrius | 2007-04-26T15:52:54 | null | Lots of people say that, but I don't think it's true. Just because an idea is simple doesn't mean it's a bad or unprofitable idea.<p>MySpace was a really simple idea, most of which had been done before, just not all on the same site. The reason they were successful wasn't because of the strength of the idea, it was because they got their site out there when the only real competition was Friendster, and since their site relies on network effects for much of its usefulness, it has been difficult for others with the same idea to be successful.<p>She screwed you over, but I doubt there's much you can do about it except try to beat her. Also, people who do things like that should have to pay with their reputation, but if your idea is too obvious, people will just think you're lame when you tell the story. | null | null | 16,977 | 16,972 | null | [

17,043 | comment | litepost | 2007-04-26T16:51:49 | null | If its any consolation, Google announced plans to emulate a lot of the functionality planned for our new email client, Litepost, days after we started announcing and exploring our ideas with the public and users:<p><a href="http://mail.google.com/support/bin/request.py?contact_type=suggest">http://mail.google.com/support/bin/request.py?contact_type=suggest</a><p>I'm not saying they ripped us of course (who could possibly prove that?) but I will say that the timing is awfully coincidental, given that the overall ideas behind our program have been in development for almost a year (and we just started publicizing our ideas recently)!<p>Personally I take it as a compliment, and am grateful/flattered to have such a large competitor emulating plans we've had in development for a while. (The main thing we heard while pursuing this idea was "How can you possibly improve upon Gmail?" Well now Gmail itself recommends recommendations upon its service.)<p>All this, however, corresponds directly to what PG says and some of you echo below:<p><a href="http://www.paulgraham.com/startupmistakes.html">http://www.paulgraham.com/startupmistakes.html</a> 8. Slowness in Launching<p>(I'm new to this whole arena, so it's taken us a while to a) find the right developers and b) get up to speed before launch.)<p>If anyone's interested in weighing in, I wonder if open sourcing our project might help it or be of general interest/utility... is anyone interested in "an Open Source Alternative to Gmail that You Can Install and Run on Your Own Servers"? If so, I could use some help. <p>I am actually interested in ultimately duplicating _and open sourcing_ a lot of the functionality of Google generally, in order to decentralize it (the operation and its power, which after all is only algorithms + horsepower) and nullify the negative privacy implications of Google. What do you think? Any takers? <p>I think the only possible contender to Google is an open source alternative. Let's Open Source Google!<p>PS From another news.YC article: "In Silicon Valley, Google-as-the-giant talk is deafening. As others have noted, startups used to get the question "What are you going to do when Microsoft does this?" and today, it's "What are you going to do about Google?"

17,051 | comment | natrius | 2007-04-26T17:06:08 | null | MySpace definitely executed well, but no one has a monopoly on good execution. In your original comment, you said that if someone else could execute as well as he could, then there's something wrong with the idea. That's not true. There's a good chance that the poster is already screwed, because the person who stole his idea is probably competent. Just because the idea has been marinating in his head longer doesn't mean that he will be more successful. The suggestion that the advantage gained from being the person to come up with the idea in the first place is substantial enough to offset the head start that the person who stole the idea has isn't firmly based in reality.<p>With that said, I still think he should try to compete with her if he thinks the idea is worthwhile, but he should definitely reevaluate whether or not it's worth it to leave his job/school to do it full time. At this point, anything less than full time isn't going to accomplish anything. | null | null | 17,022 | 16,972 | null | [

17,057 | comment | npk | 2007-04-26T17:17:55 | null | I firmly believe that you need 1 screenshot, or maybe a 5s screen cast. Just something that gets the jist of it out there. 2-3 minutes is too much. Most tools have dozens of options, so be a reductionist here.<p>If you're going to be marketing juwo to different types of customers, have a 5 sec screencast, and then links to 3 or 4 subclasses (this will help you when you start advertising w/ google adsense as well.)<p>I'm too busy to help further :) | null | null | 17,045 | 16,967 | null | [

17,064 | comment | omouse | 2007-04-26T17:27:55 | null | I don't believe that. You know all that text you already have? Just go through it and highlight the key points. Then out of those key points pick the ones that matter most to an ordinary person who just happened to stumble upon your website.<p>Look at the WriteWith.com site: <a href="http://writewith.com/">http://writewith.com/</a> One sentence explains it and the screenshot is nice too. But after the first sentence, it has a little list of things a user can do, "upload documents, share with other people, chat, assign tasks, and track everybody's actions with a comprehensive history." And you can figure out wtf it does in just two sentences...amazing huh? | null | null | 17,046 | 16,967 | null | [

17,074 | comment | omouse | 2007-04-26T17:44:42 | null | Maybe, but they have to come up with the idea first. And then they have to avoid being discouraged from going through with the implementation. And then they need money to put the implementation somewhere on the net. And then they need to market it or hire a PR company to do that. And they need to maintain and support it. And then...you get the point. There's more than just the implementation to web apps. | null | null | 17,058 | 16,972 | null | [

17,079 | comment | jey | 2007-04-26T17:48:31 | null | Yes, and the idea is the only hard part of all that. Especially if you're already a webapp-guy, not a random joe-schmoe who doesn't know source code from a security code.<p>These are webapps, not operating systems, not mainframes, not databases. The barrier to entry, cost of operation, and development time are all pretty low. You can hire the PR people when you actually need them (probably sometime after you actually have cash flow). There's plenty of ways to market a webapp for <i>free</i>, and I sure would not hire a marketing firm to promote my new site. | null | null | 17,074 | 16,972 | null | null | null | null |
