Hour 3: Choosing an idea (A.K.A “arguing”!)
Posted on | November 26, 2009 | 3 Comments
CAN EVERYONE JUST CALM DOWN!!!
I have never seen a whiteboard eraser take such a savage scrubbing! Imagine 10 people all trying to talk at the same time about which idea is best… when they’re the people who had the ideas in the first place and love their little babies passionately… we just did that.
Actually, despite how loud things got it was pretty focussed. Anyone was allowed to suggest a judging criteria (e.g. Will it be fun to do? or Can it start making money straight away?), then each idea was given a tick if it answered “yes” to that criteria. Repeat until you’re out of criteria, and then you have a winner… simple….
Ideas ideas ideas
…or so we thought; three ideas tied on ticks! Next move, everyone ranked each idea 1, 2, or 3… Points were ascribed for each ranking and we added the whole lot up to find our winner. Sort of democracy, and not everyone was 100% happy – but time is short so ONWARDS!
So, what’s the idea?
Well, it’s simple really. It’s “shopping by colour”. Think the colour filters on Google image search, or Etsy’s colour thingy… only for any product on the planet! So, if you want a car from AutoTrader and want it to match your boxer shorts; this site will do that for you.
(At least, that’s the initial idea… now we’re into concept development – so who knows what the idea will actually end up being. Experience tells me it will change somewhat!)

Not yet, but we hop the eventual buyer will make such obvious improvements!
