My ramblings on ideas becoming memes, viral, and seeing light of day.
Ideas are aplenty. However, there are few that see the light and still few receive sponsorships.Does this mean that few ideas have less power than ones that are implemented ? Although, I would like to believe so, some experiences prove that all ideas are equally good and need to implemented. But it is time, cost and most importantly NEED that determines the power of ideas.
Wait, aren't we missing a vital ingredient here. If time, cost and NEED are the attributes to move an idea to benefit a group, society, business, then every idea shared can be a need for someone at that point of time. If not, this makes me think that there is a nodal point which is essential to make an idea successful. This nodal point is not one single entity. The entity itself is so fragmented yet connected that the power no longer lies in the nodes but in the connectors.
When these connectors with their power transmit an idea, they become "Ideanets" Multiple such ideanets get contribution from each node that the connectors can be thought of fattenning pipes as they progress with force towards a success. The final node that we stop is when it is market ready and in use.
If only we realize that it is another "ideanet" at play and starts from this point onwards and we connect the 2 idea nets that we have a successful business built on ideas.
How to make ideanets possible. Enter social media and their importance. I will reserve this for my next post...

As always, your posts make me want to write something in response. First, the last line of your post is great because now I am eager to read the next one you write on social learning...my hobby horse. Great anticipation build up.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of "ideanet" and these moving and expanding, gathering more and more force enroute. I can see an analogy to Twitter here--a collection of 140 characters coming from different directions, converging on certain topics and forming a veritable flood of ideas on that topic. From this mix emerges something that is powerful, innovative, transformatory in nature...
Thanks Sahana for the comments. I would like to use your Twitter write up as the opening line for my blog on social media.
