Everyone has an idea but how we execute that idea is often more valuable than the idea itself. Many ideas are not unique. The uniqueness comes about in the individual’s perception (and execution) of that idea. Facebook was not a unique idea, however it was executed at a perfect time and at a perfect place. In Facebook’s case simple was better. The web has given simple ideas a platform where they can shine. Experience definitely helps, however a unique solution to a common problem become great ideas.

Facebook was also lucky enough to walk the fine line between leveraging exclusivity and drawing a backlash or fading into oblivion. There was a domino-effect of envy… Ivy league | Select universities | All universities… College student user base >> high school seniors to college freshmen transition >> high school students friends with college freshmen >> and so on down the line. It would have been genius if it wasn’t plain luck.
