The stupidest idea I have heard was Twitter.
After that, I changed the way I thought.
- marchra 13y agoyep. Twitter, followed by Kickstarter. Lately when I have one of those gut reaction aversions to a new product I check myself and re-examine.
- GalacticDomin8r 13y agoConsidering the amount of stupidity on Twitter, I'd say you weren't too far off the mark.
- dmix 13y agoThat's just a reflection of the average human, not Twitter. Twitter just allows them to communicate publicly.
- kamaal 13y agoWhat people do with X, has nothing to say about X. People use knife to cook food, but also use to same to commit murder.

- namenotrequired 13y agoHow do you think now?
- jasonlotito 13y agoIt's hard to explain. I try to understand why the person thinks the idea is good rather than try to figure out why the idea is bad. The realization that most ideas evolve over time also means that the initial idea you dismiss will most likely change. It's really just about taking the time to better understand an idea, and trying hard not to dismiss it.
- xtrumanx 13y ago> try to understand why the person thinks the idea is good rather than try to figure out why the idea is bad That should be on the HN faq regarding "Show HN" posts.
- sliverstorm 13y agoMore stupidly
- lumberjack 13y agoSame here. It never occured to me that celebrities would start using the platform. I still don't think that Twitter would be anywhere near where it is now if not for the endorsement by many celebrities.
