Ask Slashdot: The answer is small groups of trusted relationships

On a recent Top Post on technology mega-site Slashdot (”news for nerds. stuff that matters.”), a user who goes by Rival stimulated a lot of conversation around this topic:

“As an inquisitive and creative geek, I am constantly coming up with ‘clever’ ideas…On the admittedly long chance that an idea is genius, however, what is the best way to ask for another’s insights while mitigating the risk of them stealing or sharing the idea? Asking a stranger to sign a contract before discussing an idea seems like a good way to get a door closed on my face. What are your experiences and suggestions?”

User lordsid summed it up in a response to the post:

“Talk to people you trust.”

The upcoming release of Jute Beta includes Jute Groups–the perfect tool for Rival and others to use to connect with those small groups of trusted relationships.  Register now to be one of the first to receive access to Jute Beta.
