The Downfall Of A Brilliant Idea

A few months back, A friend of mine was talking to me about creating an online radio station. I was weary of this because there are lots of online radio stations and not much money to be made from it. However, two-hundred thousand cups of coffee later and much hair pulling and yelling, I came up with the idea to make a Digg-like user-driven online radio.

The concept was simple. Music artists and podcasters could upload their stuff. People would listen to it and if they liked it they would vote for it to be played on the air, or tubes. Sadly, this idea never went further than four photoshop layers. I forgot completely about the idea until about twelve minutes and fourteen seconds ago. There was a story that hit the homepage of Digg. Now, the idea isn’t exactly what I wanted to do, but close enough to get me angry that I didn’t follow through.

Will I ever pursue this? Probably not. I have a lot of projects in the works as it is. The last thing I need is another to take up my already busy schedule.

Moral of the story: If you act now, we will throw in an extra “Magic Onion Cutter” abosolutely free! No really, if you have an idea that’s not out there yet, go with it. It may fail, but it may also be the thing that makes your life so much better (as money does buy happiness, at least in my world).
