 Introduction

Ideas Cloud is the result of a game of Uno with friends resulting

in a series of mental brain storming. It is the result of me trying to
think of new ways of sharing and growing ideas. It is the result of
me trying to solve a problem.

Put simply. Ideas Cloud is a new form of networking, a form of

networking I’ve taken the term Idea Networking for.
 What is Ideas Cloud?
Idea Networking

Idea Networking to me is an offshoot or new branch and way of

social networking. Rather then it being based on socialising and
updating friends on what has been done though it is a way of al-
lowing ideas to grow and develop through communication. It is a
means to share ideas.

It is something to note that Ideas fulfil their worth the best when
they are free to develop and grow in an environment with in-
put from other people. They grow stagnant and stale when kept
locked away and developed alone with no input.

However it is a common problem that many people don’t share

their ideas. They seek to hide them away, whether due to fear of
being wrong, or the need to protect them. It is my belief that in
part this fear of being wrong comes from school where you are
taught you have to get everything ‘right. To allow ideas to develop
at their best you have to remove this belief, instead following in-
stinct and sharing to grow the idea. In the realm of ideas there is
no right or wrong.
