I think this article is great. While I personally seem to be missing the point that glenn was trying to put across, in relation to this article, I think he made a valid point. We must consistently remember that we are not machines and that we require relationships and networking skills (the human kind) to move forward in Any given field.
Thanks for writing the article. It’s helping me quite a bit with school work, work and everything in between.

SO, I think that the author did not propose any solution to help those has the ability to innovate. The whole post talked only about the everyday killing of great ideas. Every body has exprienced that, at least. Recently, I was applying for a job and I proposed sth not new. I mean not new for web 2.0 geeks, on my country it is so, especially, for corporate holders. I proposed to use web 2.0 to promote a website. They listened to my strategy. The first reaction we don’t need emarketing, we want SEO. I asked the man who said so what do you mean? He said I wanna my website to be the first on google. Yes, this is the best solution to combine online and the offline website optimisation and e-reputation and social media is part of the offline if do it properly we will rank and diverse of source traffic. No, I don’t need a emarketer I am looking for SEO expert. Then, the discussion turned to be a battlefield, istead of presenting my strategy I was obliged to do explain fully what is web 2.0, what page fun, digg, bookmarking and so on. Why are they too imprtant?…
Finally, I lost control and said to the that stupid -who consider himself as an expert- you still using the basic technics of SEO while, nowadays, SEO progress and new techniques appear everyday, you need to update yourself. The result, the job has fly away. hhhhhhh
why am I typing all these words, because when I read the title I was expecting solutions. If I had been able to motivate them, surely, I’d have been experiencing new things. Unfortunately, I am not.

It’s always easy to point out “how great ideas” are killed. The job of an inventor and visionary is to communicate the idea.

Plus any GOOD executive knows that often niche products that concentrate in one specific service / function (like your Twitter example) always have a good chance for success, because there is a “need” already there.

Instead of talking how good / radical ideas get killed – you should write about how to communicate / sell them.

Do you have any good or radical ideas how to sell them?

Agree, though I think it could be considerably difficult to generate buy-in and support during the initial stages after you have brainstormed and come up with what you think is a brilliant idea or new concept, one that could work and click and possibly make you famous and rich. It all depends on whom you know to pitch your idea, and who can support or give voice to your idea. It is different in each case, well-established gurus coming up with ideas are readily hearteningly accepted encouraged and praised but if the same idea comes from someone of mediocre or nil personal branding it could just be dismissed as just another ‘crazy talk’. It also depends on luck.

Comment on 8 Qualities of Powerful Writing by bb

bb — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 12:28:32 +0000

i’ve always believed that the ability to write well is something that you either have, or don’t. sure, you can always improve and get better, and it will be hard for someone who’s not born with it to get to the point he becomes an excellent writer.

anyway, i just want to say that in addition (or perhaps i dare say ‘as opposed to’) following these guidelines and stuff, it may be better to just encourage the students to read more and read widely. if they just following guidelines, they will just be pretending or trying to write well.

but if they read on diverse subject matters, or at least read books or writing from different writers, they may get a better feel of what’s good writing, what’s approachable writing, what’s crystal-clear writing, what’s effective writing… and from there, they should be in a better position to adopt a better, clearer and more convincing writing style.

just my (humble) two cents.

Those are such awesome finds. Like you, I love my paper. Sadly, I can’t find good notepads here. I’ll just drool over the stuff you posted. I really like the Rollabind and the Notepod.
