Even most good ideas start as half baked ones though.

The thing that's been keeping me alive for the last 15 years started as a bet for a bar of chocolate, several pivots later it was a top 300 website, sometimes it doesn't take much.

The difference between idiotic and brilliant is only a pivot away. Of course you still have to execute.

The problem is, half-baked ideas themselves might not be fully fleshed out. Reading one of these ideas might generate a spark that will finish the idea.

That being said, a lot of half-baked ideas proved rather popular. I mean, seriously, does "post what you are doing, but you're limited to 140 characters" sound like anything really worth while?
