Have you ever had a great idea, which you dropped because people told you you were wrong?
- The Twitter development team were wrong to build a site, where you can only post 140 character messages. Tweets are way too short.
- Steve Jobs was wrong to launch the iPad, which is a premium priced product, during one of the worst economies in modern history. It’s just too expensive.
- The Groupon team were wrong to build a billion dollar email marketing business. Email is dead.
