There is no longer safety in hiding an idea. As a fledgling it is too hard to meet the right people to make it all happen. Even if I had all the money I could throw at an idea, making the right people come together to make it come true seems impossible and the time it would take would be too long. For things to work they have to happen now.
How many times have I invented a new product or come up with an idea that is ahead of the time, for just six months later to see something along the general lines come out or the entire fad to die out and leave me with a useless device in my hands? So what can you do today? It is now necessary to tell everyone everything you are doing right when you are doing it. There is no place to hide and no reason to hide. If you want to succeed in the future everyone has to know exactly what you are up to. There is no longer safety in leaving people in the dark. Things are happening so fast and copyrights, trademarks, and patents are dead devices. Who needs them?
If you are worried that someone will steal your idea you are probably right. Why aren’t you acting on it? Most importantly, why aren’t you telling everyone what you are doing and getting their input? Without the collective masses input, you are a sitting duck waiting to get run over with mass appeal. Mass appeal doesn’t come in a box of protection, it comes from shared interest and ideas. If you have something, share it and see where it takes you.
This is my project, I am going to tell you the future of advertising as it pertains to the Internet, magazines, newspapers, direct mail, television, and satellite radio. What is the future….. it is the Clickboard. Over the next few years I am going to try and get to the top of google, without paying. If you don’t know what a Clickboard and Clickcard are after exploring advertual.com, I will have listened to my own failure, but also my own success as it was not the prediction I expected from the ‘media’ (bloggers). I will do my best to provide you with examples, but I need your input. This idea will not happen without you.

I will help you carry the flame! Seriously though, lets get the message out and then hopefully a dialogue started, along with a healthy does of criticism. I think then we will be able to refine not only your idea, but also spark others. Good luck!
