Idea theft is something many people freak about, but in actuality it happens more infrequently than you think.
I have visited several inventor's guilds where complete strangers meet up and share ideas. At my first meeting I expected to sign some sort of non-disclosure or confidentiality document to protect others' ideas, but I never did! Several of the inventors explained why:
1.) If your idea is truly good, then only you know how to immediately implement it. You will be hard-pressed to find someone that thinks exactly like you and will be able to discover the nuances of your idea. Still exercise a little caution when explaining an idea and don't give away the punchline too early!
2.) Execution is always the key to success and frankly, you would be surprised by how few people there are who have the time and resources to effectively implement your idea. Chances are, those who try, will only scratch the surface of your idea's potential.
3.) If by some freakish chance someone does end up implementing your idea in the exact manner as you had dreamed, then you just found yourself a partner!
You said "only you know how to immediately implement it", but my problem is I am not aware of web technologies and how to market it. I come from a different programming world of C/C++. Thats why I am looking for hackers as partners who can implement my ideas.
will be cautious and wont give away the punchline too early.
