Fave idea of the week : July 17th, 2008
I was in a meeting with a bunch of folks, talking about consulting projects. Dan H. was giving an update, and he mentioned that he had a meeting where they just spitballed ideas around. The phrase caught my fancy for a few reasons:
- spitballs are small, damp and meant to be thrown
- you use them to communicate with people
- you can make them quickly
- when you toss one and it hits the mark, you feel proud
Turns out that rough, fast, early ideas have a lot in common with spitballs. Spitball ideas FTW!

What’s also great about spitballs is that they don’t stick on the wall for very long. You don’t have to commit to the idea as something you’ll be held accountable for.
