I true believe this to be true. While I certainly see the virtue in transposing the idea, doing it allover again also gives the opportunity to address the issues the initial implementations may have missed or were not able to address given the landscape at the time of their implementation. History they say is an excellent teacher. Innovation: My experience has taught me one valuable lesson: Innovation is not just creating new ideas, it also includes applying old ideas in new ways.

I too find consumer markets to be more homogeneous than expected. In a weird way...this may be where communications technology, including the net, is headed: everybody reading the same things, knowing the same people and having the same interests. Of course, we will never reach this point, but it might be something like the event horizon of technology. Btw, welcome to blogging. Hope to read many of your posts. P.S. If you are going to be writting alot, try http://www.jacuba.com/ It's an online spell checker and it works great (saves copying and pasting stuff) ;) Amen to that!
