It particularly exact in the web, once you see a biz coming in FR, it's high time to start the It and ES website :-) An other point is that some business always followes the same road, for example, in Europ, the market starts in UK, then in DE and FR, and in ES, IT and PO.

I suppose you don't want to copy the design. Just the functionality. I got into a little bit of hot water with my College Student Tutors site (http://www.collegestudenttutors.com/) because it's design was similar to Basecamp (http://www.basecamphq.com/). I'll need to be more careful about that in the future. Thats true. I suppose you don’t want to copy the design. Just the functionality.

Thanks Lucky. It’s a good idea for sure. Thanks Lucky.

I just heard about this guy in Germany getting sued by Facebook for coming too close to their design. I guess you can "sue over borders". But he could have easily gotten away with it if he had the same idea with a fresh design and a little different functionality. In the e-bay vs yahoo example, you can't patent an auction, even if online auction has never been done. but if yahoo in Japan looked exactly like e-bay, there might have been a few lawyers involved.

That could be part of it but I was thinking more along the lines of a "how to break free" podcast. Give some of your insights, what has worked and what hasn't. No one is going to get excited about doing a podcast when they have no idea if anyone will ever hear it. Once you build an audience, you'll feel the rush. I'm not here to convince you though. Just a thought. I’m not talking about interviews. That could be part of it but I was thinking more along the lines of a “how to break free” podcast.

You can see some of them here: http://www.startbreakingfree.com/category/interviews/ For some reason though I could never get excited about doing it. It took a long time to schedule with people and edit the mp3's. It didn't really fit into my "semi-retired" lifestyle, haha. Who knows, maybe I can find a way to fix that though, like to just bring a tape recorder when I'm to have lunch with someone, and then give it an assistant. Not sure...
