Finding a new product idea
-
I really want to branch out on my own in the next few years. I develop applications for a couple of specific vertical markets. I would love to stay in that segment, but I'm afraid it is already a bit saturated. Has anyone ever teamed up with someone who had a great idea, but lacked the programming expertise? How the heck do you find these people? :) I would imagine a few good applications still need to be created and marketed?

There's one easy way to prove the effectiveness of 'letting the market decide' when it comes to environmental protection. It's spelt 'S-U-V'. --Holgate, from Plastic
