Web Startup Ideas – The List and The Drought

By Steve Poland • December 6, 2007

I’ve published a ton of my web startup ideas in the past (see my Archive page and scroll through them), but have shown a bit of a drought here on my site. I still get them daily, but now I write them in a little notepad that sits behind my wallet in my jeans each day.

My buddy Andrew Hyde hooked me up with a few of these “moleskin” pads — they are great and handy. Everyone should have one of these on them at all times, along with a pen — you never know when inspiration will strike. I also have a notepad with pen next to my bed.

suprise! paper is much cheaper when it doesn’t have moleskine written on the back cover.

That’s a lot of ideas, Steve. It’ll be interesting if you maintain a list of those ideas that were actually implemented, and see how many of them succeeded and how many failed.

A fresh set is on its way to you!

There is something about the quality of Moleskin that makes it a cherished gift that is used, over a cheap gift that is tossed.

Write some more brilliant ideas on em Steve.

I think a cell phone (SmartPhones would be better) would do these days as we carry them and be with them quite often.

I use Evernote on my iPhone for this. It’s great because I always have my iPhone in my pocket and I can retrieve the notes via Evernote’s web app as well.
