- brlewis 16y agoBy social proof I mean when someone you respect/imitate embraces the idea. On a large scale this just means popularity. So I would call social proof the barometer of a successful idea, which only loosely correlates with being a good idea.
- zackattack 16y agocool. yeah, most people tell me my ideas suck, and then they tell me "it's a good idea" once they get adoption.
- christonog 16y agoI'd imagine this happens a lot with new ideas. Back in the day, people couldn't fathom having a mobile phone. Now, many people can't fathom not having the internet (myself included) where ever they go.
