Nope, never had a bad experience sharing an idea. I do it on purpose to see if anyone will ever give me a run for my money... but no. Nobody I've met could execute with the dilligence I do, nor do they have the marketing savvy. I talk about how I'm going to revolutionize email, with user interface enhancements, make it very step-by-step explaining the logic behind them, at conferences where I speak in front of several hundred people -- and so far as I can tell, nobody has lifted a finger. My ideas aren't revolutionary, either, and they could make a lot of money. Last week I met a person in my city (Vienna), who was excited to meet me cuz of my reputation, and was worried that it turned out we were going to compete. I told him, no problem. We talked about our different approaches to the same problem. I said maybe he should look at selling his technology to people like me, instead of the end users. That's about the extent of it. :)
