I've had an idea for years now, but never really put much effort into developing it. I just got lazy, distracted, and unmotivated. The idea was to make it "Web 2.0" and stuff and jump on the bandwagon. So far I've only seen one site do it. But now, I'm just too apathetic about where the Web is going right now.

I've come to learn the truth in the saying <em>"An opportunity is never lost - if you don't act on it, someone else will."</em> Although I will advise that one shouldn't be discouraged by a little friendly competition. :) BTW, I do like Mr. Buffington's philosophy of sharing ideas on the web to try and make things a win-win situation for all. Kudos on stikkit. Hey Ara, I can completely relate.

It means a lot to us. I've had similar things happen to me, and I can appreciate the feeling. I've learned over the years that unless I can immediately execute an idea, that I should probably blog about it and share the idea, so that in the very least I can blog about it later and say "See! I was right!" All opportunity isn't lost though - we have a simple and useful <a href="http://www.stikkit.com/api/" rel="nofollow">API</a> that people are starting to embrace and make clever apps with, and we're constantly coming up with ideas for what we're able to do with the core of what we've built so far. Anyone with access to the API has this same opportunity, and we'd fully encourage you to think of where you'd have gone next, given you had the notefilter app. I’m happy to hear, that even after your heartache, you still think we’ve done a great job.
