Looking for the next Big Idea

Let’s be honest, ShoutOutLounge has been on a decline for a while now. I am not one who refuses to see a problem when it’s staring right at me. I have tried a couple of remedies to prevent this decline but it looks to me like it is unstoppable now.

So, instead of letting it slide into nothing-ness, I would like to take this opportunity to invite the most loyal users of ShoutOut (the ones that support ShoutOutLounge since the beginning until now) to the next big project I want to begin on.

What is the project about?
I don’t know yet.
What is it going to do?
I don’t know yet.
Who can join?
I don’t know yet.
Can this project earn big bucks?
I don’t know yet.

What I do know is this: The very first step is to gather a team of really hard-core entrepreneurial individuals with skills that complement each other. We are to be able to work well together, willing to sacrifice time and sweat into something we believe in and most importantly, sick of working for someone else.

We’ll then meet up, web conference or in person, and then discuss what we want to do, responsibilities of each team members and move on from there.

The objective of this is :

• Create something huge that will impact people’s lives
• Embrace the entrepreneurial spirit within you
• For the Experience, regardless success or failure
• If someone is going to do it, why not us? Create something you can call your own

I am sure some of you have felt something is not right since you begin your work life. Working for a boss is not something that excites you and does not make you look forward to work. You love to create, you love to let others use your creation, you love to compete with others creators. You respect companies like Google, Twitter, Facebook, Mint, YouTube, Amazon and closer to home, Jobstreet and Nuffnang. If something have been nagging at you to be like these companies, then it’s time to take the plunge.

Experience gained from developing and maintaining ShoutOutLounge really helps out a lot. Not only in terms of technical skills, also friends and contacts. Elise and me can fill some of the IT skills needed in the team. What we need now are more IT skills, designing skills and marketing skills. If the idea involves hardware, then engineering skills is needed too.
