Thanks for commenting, Mike. I'm hoping that at least one of those ideas will be profitable, but I guess I'll need to finish creating one or more of them and see what happens.

I started writing a lot more about the Aiken quote, but it grew into a whole new post, which will be up soon... thanks!

The Aiken quote is great, but there's one issue with it: a lot of ideas that make money are bad ideas, presumably easy to steal. So the decision needs to be made: Do you want good ideas or good money?

I suppose any idea that makes money could be considered a good idea, but when I read Aiken's quote, I think not. I think Aiken is saying that truly *good* ideas are those that have the potential to really rock people's worlds.

That said, your ideas are pretty good (probably in the world-rocking sense, more than the money-making sense). :)

Hey man,

Thanks for the link and the thoughts. My eyes popped when I saw "tree-based blogs" becuase that is what I'm working on - but the other direction.

Telling your ideas feels good right? I like the ad idea with the ads and the ranking system.

Cheers,
Mike
