Powers of Imagination and Blogging

They say if you cannot come up with an original idea, just steal one.

Ahhh let me tell you about the power of the World Wide Web, it has no boarders and no imigration laws, once you are connected to the Internet you are a citizen of the Global village, that means you can talk to whoever you want without the limitations of time and space...
Also you can talk about any topic you want, you don't need an audience, however the problem arises when you have an audience that has malicious intent.

In My previous postings on this blog site I talked about Mobile Advertising at a micro scale, however someone within the company I work for (VOD) decided to steal my Idea and give it a better name, partner with the right people, broadcast it to the relevant audience and also get credit for it ( I hope they also get the money too).

Please read my posting about shifting economic power in SA....

I know what you thinking.... "this is just soar grapes he could'nt have come with such a brilliant idea and his idea would'nt have worked and these are not the same product" but let me tell you... the most brilliant ideas come from the most unlikeliest sources. If you give yourself time to listen to your children you will know what I'm smoking.

The beef I have with this, its not that I'm not gonna get the credit and the money. No.. No..No.. stuff the credits it's the money I'm worried about and the people that I wanted to benefit from this are the street vendors and they are not gonna get jack... and the person who stole this Idea did not bother about them.
The have already fine tuned it that the person on the street should not benefit(excuse the pun)

The advertising companies were also gone benefit.

But I say this to them there are more Ideas where that one came from. " You are not doing anything to a tree when you pick a fruit that comes from it"

Maybe I will need a lawyer for exposing this. but I'm so confident about this I'm even willing to risk my job by writing this. But you know what... to prove that they did not steal my Idea nothing will happen to my JOB.

Maybe after this there will be a policy refraining people from blogging about the companies they work for.

Lastly how much is to patent an idea???
