I think you are oversimplifying "the idea". Google's idea wasn't that "people will want to search online." Google's insightful, interesting idea that was then well-executed was the PageRank algorithm.

Geocities, Myspace and Facebook were all very different ideas. If the first two had executed better, all 3 would probably still co-exist.

This is the more common meme, and I think it is healthy to keep 'idea folks' away. Even great ideas, without execution, are worthless.

But as you say, a great idea combined with a great execution is where things get really special. Still, I do think great ideas are rare. It depends a bit on how you define what an idea is: is it a social network? is it a social network within a college campus? is it requiring real world identity?

author here– agree with many of your points, except two: 1) I think great ideas are surprisingly rare, and are very difficult to recognize. It's especially hard because of how important execution is for 'uncovering' a great idea. Great idea, badly executed = looks like a bad idea

2) I think "burning passion" oversimplifies things. Many great businesses are built without 'passion' for the solution...just a passion for some part of the business...and sometimes that's just recognition of a great financial opportunity.

hey, author here! certainly didn't mean it that way at all– was telling a personal story and used specific examples from my experience to illustrate

Alternatively, a creator can now build a product with fewer people and doesn't need to raise capital. This trend is extremely empowering of labor.

Why do you think enterprise development is different?

Please read the post with a heavy dose of sarcasm mixed with admiration :) I'd very much like to see formidable challengers arise.

And I actually wrote this post a week before Bezos bought the WaPo, although I think it only underscores the point.

He makes more than $8500 a week. That's just for the post sponsorship. He also makes money from the Deck network ad on the side.

What about exporting the Keynote to JPGs, and then putting the JPGs into a new Keynote and exporting as PDF?

Can anyone recommend any similar existing resources?

This bugs me too. I put the location in the Note section, which is tappable.

On the other hand, how passionate was pg about viaweb?
