An idea worth spreading

A penny doubled every day seems very lame for the first 20 days. This is why most big companies and people miss innovations that will turn out to be big. IM looked lame when people first saw it. So did Twitter or Facebook. Our goal should be to find more doubling pennies, both in human and corporate terms. That's what I'm coming to TED to look for.

Areas of expertise
