Secrets Totally Suck

filed under syncPEOPLE · 2 comments in the original

There’s a time to keep secrets and there’s a time to shout it from the tops of buildings. I’m good at keeping other people’s secrets. Hell, I’m good at keeping my own secrets - except when it comes to my ideas.

I’ve always believed that ideas need to breathe a bit. I’ve gotten very protectionist as of late as we’ve seen many things co-opted, borrowed, and outright stolen from our quiver. And let me tell you - nothing hurts more than hacing something precious taken from you.

Funny exchange with Pete this morning drives at the point:

MadMonkNYC: i think my appendix is gonna burst soon if I don't announce my site

MadMonkNYC: haha

pc4media: yeah. when is it launching?

MadMonkNYC: we're actively building now

...

MadMonkNYC: sneaaak.

MadMonkNYC: http://youwish.com

pc4media: oooh oooh

MadMonkNYC: http://iwishmore.com

MadMonkNYC: i thought you'd like that ;)

See now I can afford that little release since Pete can keep a secret too. And ya know what, it felt good to show it to someone for the first time!

UPDATE: We’ll be getting our blog up and running today. Still have to do some writing for that, but it’s a step in the right direction.
