I remember fondly an article that made it to the front page, once, that said you specifically shouldn't tell people about your ideas. It purported that, chemically, the pleasure of explaining your great idea to someone is similar to the pleasure of actually accomplishing it. So, it claimed that for every person you tell about your idea, you're less likely to actually do it, since you have already enjoyed the pleasure of telling someone about it. Just thought it was an interesting note that flies in the face of the first point made by the blogger, via Seth Godin. No idea if it's true.
