Instead of telling your ideas to friend and family, ask for theirs. Go to the mall or other public place and ask people. Want to go all out? Take a cooler of ice cold beer and a big sign saying you'll give out beer for great web app ideas. If you do it on a slow news day, some tv reporter might put you on the news. Someone watching might call you with the best idea ever. Embrace serendipity and seek out new sources of ideas.
- stagas 16y agoI ask for theirs and it's mainly Facebook-for-that with 'that' being a random value, or it's impossible / huge for me. No, my problem isn't ideas, I have plenty of them myself. My problem is motivation. I usually give up after building a working prototype because I lose interest and enthusiasm, because I was the only one who cared. I was hoping that by posting this issue here, I see it as a commitment. When someone expects something from me I would put more effort in, rather than building something that I came up with and perhaps noone really cares. +1 for original advice though :)
