It came!!!
It was so obvious it had always been there. It had always been right in front of me, but I didn’t see it until thursday.
Eventually, the IDEA came down onto me.
I passed it already through the sieve of my friends, and the idea still stands. It may not be original, it may not be sustainable. But it’s definitely doable (and some nearby negociations will decide if it’s gonna be the easy way or the hard way), and now is the one time when the momentum is right.
The one and only thing missing from turning this potential venture into a huge success? Marketing. Lots and lots of marketing. Starting big, TV ads, radio ads and the like. Turning a nation of technophobes into one giant browser.
Well… at least the idea came. From now on, it’s business, IT, management and marketing. But the idea came :D
congrats!
where’s the beta? :)
Give an email with the idea. I am very curious. Maybe I can help u with some feedback! Good luck!
I’d love to help as well. Of course, once you’re in beta phase, otherwise I’d deffinetly steal it
And here comes ROSI (The Romanian Open Source and Software Initiative) conference! There will be Romanian workshops there, so if you have something valuable to present, you will have the chance.
Good luck with your ideas; I’m glad to see that a Romanian decided to turn back in his homeland and to try something. I keep my finger crossed for you.
Lucian, thanks :) (the thought crossed my mind, its implementation depends of how far will I get with my project before ROSI).
Mihai and Vladimir: I will actually need a partner with web experience (Ajax, JS, CSS, Rails) at some nerby point, but for the moment the future of this business idea is uncertain.
I need to have some negociations first with a key person and my main associate, without whom the whole idea is endangered.
PS. A brief marketing study also showed me that I’m not the first with the idea in the local market. I am certainly the best, but still… talk about getting excited prematurely. :D
