Six Sites!
Six Sites: Is there a need for New Newsreader?
I’ve been thinking a lot about RSS Readers lately. I’ve always been partial to desktop newsreaders like Newsfire, but the allure of the multi-context flexibility of online readers like Google Reader has found me thinking about switching camps.
But one issue seems to be holding me back: All the online newsreaders are so UGLY!
Help me decide if I should tackle creating a New Newsreader.
Two more ideas today...
Argh! I just had two more great ideas this morning. Both would only take a couple weeks each to do, but the revenue potential on either wouldn’t be as high initially as the original six ideas.
Since both of these ideas would make for perfect open source projects, I wish I could just spend a few days on designs and jot down notes on the features and publish them. Maybe try to attract a handful of people looking to collaborate.
The problem is that I think taking a project public too early, with not a lot of meat on the bones yet is a bad idea. It can come off too much like vapor. I obviously believe there is value in talking about the process early on, but when is the right time to say what you intend to do?
That is a question I’m going to be asking myself a lot over the next few weeks.
Announcing Six Sites: Six Products in One Year
I had this crazy idea, could I create 12 products in 12 months? I’ve been able to build a successful product in less than a month before, so I thought maybe I could do it again. After crunching the numbers I realized that I wouldn’t have any time to do client work too. Plus I feared that I would be so consumed with the insane pace that quality of each product might suffer.
So I scaled back the idea by half and set the goal to try and build six products over the next year, no investment, no big teams, just a handful of good guys with a half a dozen good ideas.
I have no idea if I can pull it off or not, but I figure it will be fun to at least try. And while I’m going through the trials I figure I might as well blog about it as well. That is where sixsites.com comes in.
So today officially marks Day 1 of the challenge!
