FaceBook and Trade Secrets
What is a trade secret? At the present time, a trade secret is an idea that you can't patent or dont' want exposed to the eyes of the public.. like the recipe for Diet Coke.
Reverse engineering allows you to create a product like Pepsi but not an exact replica.
At the present time, Facebook's founder is being sued for stealing a trade secret while attending harvard. ConnectU believes that their ideas were stolen and used to create Facebook.
So far, I have several invitations to join facebook which I chucked. I have not received any invitations to join connect U. Maybe they should concentrate on building their user base rather than fighting in court which just makes them look like sore losers. Yes, he may have stolen your idea.. join the club.. your ideas will be stolen or used in ways you never thought about... that is life and business. As consultants keep telling me, business is never fair. If you want fair, stay at the university and in your ivory tower.
