Inspired by this talk about ideas, I have created the Idea Exchange Rate.
As the site explains, since British ideas are “ten-a-penny”, and US ideas are “a-dime-a-dozen”, we can calculate an accurate exchange rate between British ideas and US ideas. I anticipate this becoming a very important metric for pan-Atlantic intellectual property negotiations.
wild electrons
(a) domain names are quite visibly ten-a-dozen
(b) interest concept - I wonder how many other abstract “exchange rates” one could come up with based on this. Have you heard about the Big Mac index?
(c) you forgot to incoporate the Quality Of Ideas ™ metric (note it’s a copyrighted and trademarked etc notion please), loosely based on the premise that not all ideas are created equal, even when emanated from the same idea generator (which we take to be people in this instance).
