Just a quick thought, after reading a report about how Bebo was created and sold to AOL for over £523m, it's amazing to see how far a little idea can go and expand.
The creator, Xochi Birch, spent hours in her bedroom playing around with various ideas for companys including LemonLink and BirthdayAlarm. But after persistance and selling some quite profitable companys, she stumbled across social networking sites. After creating Bebo, she found that people had joined, but were not returning. Once convincing them to return and upload pictures, this turned around and Bebo is now the most successful social site in Ireland, second in the UK and third in the US.
I guess what I'm getting at, is that if you have an idea and it doesn't work out, keep trying untill you hit your goal. Determination and talent is the key to success.
