Excellent series of articles, really enjoyed reading them.

I think the problem for a lot of people is coming up with that initial idea, that spark to get things moving. It's really difficult, I find, to come up with something that hasn't already been done before or is already better than what's in my head. I hope to reach your point some day, heh.

There were plenty of Twitter tools that'd let you schedule tweets before TweetingMachine was developed. If you have competition, it means there's money in that space :)

This is really good to know. I always seem to come up with ideas that have already been done. But it's possible my new approach would be better than the competition, like TweetingMachine.
