This isn't necessarily a good idea.
If you share it with someone that has the resources to build it faster than you, it's just going to create headaches for you in the future.
So, it's a good idea to share the generic idea, but not the specifics.
One of the businesses I'm running now (which is profitable) spawned from an idea I saw on a message board about 6 months ago. I knew the original implementation of the idea would never work and I improved on it. It's a direct competitor to the original person that posted it.
- masterzora 15y agoI don't think your first sentence really matches the rest of what you're saying. Obviously I'm not telling you to pull out your full spec and implementation roadmap to discuss with everyone on the street. But you should be willing to share the core idea in a way that anyone can understand. The "what", not the "how", essentially. You can always divulge more if someone shows interest in helping you out, but you have to garner that interest by being willing to tell them something.
