What's with the hating on ideas? Ideas do matter. Sure, anyone could have had the idea of a photo sharing site, but someone had the idea to do it that way. Someone had the idea to make it look and work the way it does. Ideas are the driver here. All good companies involve good ideas, and more good ideas on how to go about executing them. What, does 37signals say "Hey, look at our execution of our bad ideas!" Of course not. Anyone can execute shit, but not everyone can execute their idea in a good way. The way to go about executing an idea in a way that makes it successful is itself an idea. Execution brought Flickr into being. But all the ideas that went into it made it great. Anyone who thinks ideas don't matter in entrepreneurship is kidding themselves.
