Stealth Mode is Stupid: Why Your Ideas Don't Matter

• wglb 17y ago
  The concern is that sharing the idea is more dangerous than not sharing it presumes that the sole and only reason for being stealth is for the ideas. Regarding Google starting up with an idea that had actually already been done, there was still a bit of "stealth" there, if you will bear with me. The stealth was that none of us thought that search, which was regarded as a solved problem in certain ways, was at all interesting. We (or at least many of us) were quite surprised that search indeed became very interesting. That they hid from us.
