An idea age

People all over are talking about ideas. Everybody these days has an idea in their mind.Some have many ideas. Good ideas. A friend of mine on facebook says everything they've thought of has already been implemented on an app.

"Every time I have an idea for a new App, I discouver that ten people already created something just like it." ~ George Harrison. Oyier 2012

Those who've made it had ideas. They just did not stop at that. When they implemented them then the difference in their ideas was manifested even when they seemed to have one idea. Youtube & vimeo are two similar video repositories. They however have differences that are distinct to their users. Facebook & Twitter yet being social platforms are so different. The users know that. The founders Jack & Mark had ideas which at the idea stage would have sounded similar. There'd have been people saying/asking why we need two social platforms. They'd even probably have suggested the two meet up and come up with 'One bigger social network'. Are we not seeing other players coming up as late as today.
Same thing applies to our ideas today. Somebody(person A) asked how m-health(an app that was being developed my one Joseph Mokaya) was different to medkenya (App by mbugua njihia & so and so). Someone else(person B) asked why WapiDamu(an initiative to help source for blood-donors) as opposed to WanaDamu(an initiative to get the blood-donors by person B's pals). Both personA and B were only shielding their friends as the 'originator' of that particular idea.We get ideas and we're so quick to shield others from coming up with an idea with similarities to ours saying that they copied 'our' idea. #Fail.

Ideas are from God i say. Let's accept that everybody else has and learn to work with those whose idea is like ours.

.....just my idea
