How it started!

June 11, 2008 – 12:25 am

One fine day while I was facebooking, i noticed Sohail’s status and then:

        

 \IdeasHut_Conv\

We had a discussion for 4 days and that too revolving around a single idea put up by Sohail as his facebook status :)

And that was when this mad Pakistani felt we could have such discussions on a forum meant solely for this purpose. By next morning he was done creating that forum with some basic functinalities to enable users discuss different ideas.

Also by then he had started feeling that his mental faculties are being affected by the risen levels of insanity so, he decided not to take it alone and infest the culprit behind his madness with the same as well.

That culprit was accussed of bugging mad pakistani for implementing his idea related to "Developers Network of Pakistan" ……for brain storming with him writing long wall posts (argg…needless to say but she often got irriated by the restrictions put on the length of the wall post :P ) and for helping him shape his ideas.

On Sat, May 31, 2008 at 3:17 p.m. PST, history witnessed the emergence of another mad pakistani who happens to be the author of this blog :) when she decided to take the Ideas Hut project forward along with Sohail after being sentenced to madness.

So, this is briefly about how Ideas Hut started; which today after about 10 days of its birth and being still in its beta version has already got 5 ideas being discussed on it.

But this is just a start and we are expecting a lot more to come. So, keep following emoticon

  2. Now, only if a hyphen could be introduced into the URL to make it ideas-hut.com. I read it every time as Idea Shut.Com, in its present form. :D

    BTW, when I first read the name toondoo, I envisioned a fat man with a pot-belly! :P

  3. Okay that was a mind-boggling read. I felt like I was spinning on a mary-go-round.

  5. Ideashut however is a great idea, but I feel the discussion is not being tracked, and we have no way of stressing that we wanted a little more discussion on a topic, or we still look for an answer to a question.

    If your idea has gone down a little in the ideas post, it would only be left half baked or not baked at all.

    @Suleman

    Thanks for pointing this out Suleman. This really seems to be an issue and we ourselves have felt the same thing. So, we are going to decide about it in our upcoming meetings and hopefully you’ll see some improvements :)
