Well put Brian. There is definitely added motivation to implementing your own idea.

Great post. The clone concept has grown out of control. I must admit that I have fell victim to this thinking in the past and to no avail. It is not just the ficle crowd, but as you said, cloning is a way for you to not think for yourself.

It is much more fun and easy to accomplish something if it is your idea than trying to do something just as everyone does.

[...] LifeDev writes a post titled Think for Yourself, And the World Will Follow – it’s written about business ideas but I think could be applied pretty well to blogging too – originality counts for a lot. [...]

“Like some say – idea doesnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t have to be a big one, it just has to change the world :)”

You nailed it.

Wonderful post. I am sure each one of us can think of at least one great person in the world history that did exactly what you say in your post, and the end of the story is that this person became worldwide known for whatever reason. I was just thinking about Jesuchrist. He was crusifed for his revolutionary ideas of love and sharing, but he became famous as the father of Christianity.

Thinking for yourself is the key. It’s okay if you pick up an idea that didn’t originally come to you. But turning that initial idea into something else can lead to success. McDonald’s didn’t invent hamburgers. Coke didn’t invent soda pop. Google didn’t invent advertising or search. But they all took an idea and applied a new system or market to it.

This could be a mantra for living in general, IMHO, not simply entrepreneurialism. I’m going to clone it off you if you don’t mind ;)

There are far fewer people who are prepared to push the boundaries and innovate than there are people who want to take the easy option.

Cloning a website an trying to get visitors off the back of someone else’s ideas is of course lazy and in most cases unlikely to succeed. If however, you can take the best elements of an idea that works, say Digg for example, add new features and end up with something better than the original, you could be on to a winner.
