Generally good advice - although I would say that there are things that haven't been built today that could have been built yesterday and that could be the building blocks of tomorrow. Facebook and YouTube are two examples that weren't built using state of the art technology, that could have been built a few years earlier. I think their success was in their execution not the conception of the ideas as they weren't actually original ideas but well polished ones.
- jasonlbaptiste 16y agoYouTube is actually interesting. They attribute their rise to a few building blocks: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nssfmTo7SZg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nssfmTo7SZg I wouldn't put all of these as some sort of future stack building blocks, but there were enough things there that made something possible, that wasn't possible before: easy video sharing. 1- broadband in the home 2- emergence of flash, so no codecs required 3- proliferation of digital cameras 4- cheap hosting 5- one click upload 6- ability to share embed
