> if you develop your idea and the worst that happens is that Facebook copies it, then that's actually a really cool outcome, as by then you've probably done extremely well. So you don't think that the amount of time before big players copy you has shortened, nowadays? Don't you think they are more flexible, agile, open, nowadays? Of course they are... I agree with you that by the time that this happens it means that you have done a lot well already... but yeah... one time you could actually dream about "making the next new big thing", now you can only hope about being copied/acquired as late as possible... Am I wrong?
