Technology As Innovator

“Hello my LinkedIn friend…

Have you got a MySpace profile? Yes? Good…

Have you got a Facebook profile? Yes? Good…

Some of your old friends are still using Xanga? Yes?…

Great! I’ve got you on Twitter now…”

And I just read your blog on Blogger and viewed your profile. It was inspiring…

By the way, I heard that you were planning to move to the office in EU, thus thinking about creating a Xing account…

Are you tired? I mean are you tired of managing all these profiles? When you need to update one detail, do you feel the pain to go to each and every site to update your profiles?

One solution has the potential to solve this issue: Social Graph.

Tai Tran's Lab: Technology As Innovator

1. A big part of Innovation is about selling, not just inventing.
2. Innovation needs brainstorming and brainstorming needs rules:
   • Defer judgment
   • Stand on shoulders of giants
   • One conversation at a time
   • Focus on the topic
   • Rational and wild
3. Creativity is not innovation. Innovation is built upon creative assets.
4. There is no clear path or clean solution. Get your hands dirty composing, editing, reviewing, developing it.
5. Innovation occurs at the intersection of previously unconnected and unrelated planes of thought.
6. Prototype a lot, fail often, and fail early.
