My Idea.

I'm not gonna tell you what it is, not here on a public blog.  It's an idea that is both simple and huge.  If you are someone with some development talent you could build it out yourself...and that would suck for me.

Back to my idea.

It's brilliant!  Trust me.  But it was just the engineering solution just the "engine" as it were.  I talked with some people about it and they kept looking at me like, "What? Why would I use that."  But the idea kept getting better.  Mrs. Backbyrner had some great ideas (she's a marketing wiz) and then in general the whole Social Networking market went into a spiral of bad press around privacy.  Which just makes my idea all the better.

So with these idea changes My Idea is doubley brilliant!

The lesson learned:
Your idea will undergo lots of changes as you work on it.  Embrace them, use other people's brains, they're smart too.

Welcome back to backbyrner. 

I’m going to start to use this blog to talk about me putting together my startup and things I’ve learned and challenges I’ve faced. 

I’m just a regular guy in the tech world.  I’d call myself a journeyman Program Manager.  Drop me into a technology team with a product to work on and I can run with it.  I can work with most any engineering team, work with almost any product team and deliver the features needed. 

But I have this idea.

MY idea.

I have been able to sell a couple of my technology friends on this idea and they are along for the ride.

It’s been fun already and a lot of new ideas and value have been added to it by a host of people.

My goal is:

Fix Social Networks on the internet and make millions of dollars for me and mine and my friends.
