On the other hand I think it's really cool hearing from those who haven't yet succeeded as well! Just because it didn't work out doesn't mean that the steps they took were bad. Plus, learning from success is good, but learning from failure (especially when it's not your own) is great as well.
We all know how crazy an entrepreneur with a world changing idea can get (I've been there). Succeed or fail, it's always an interesting story.
I'm all for discussing ideas, but this question is more about getting better results than merely throwing out "this is how I do it".
I'd want to know how the dropbox, reddit, google, basecamp, balsamiq, uservoice, pbwiki, weebly... idea-flow worked.
Not so much the "yeah this is how i come up with ideas that never really ...uhhh...worked out ....".
No offense of course, but just so we can be clear on the matter!
