Friends are usefull, so are ideas, but resources are what you need.
I have been involved in a few un successfull start ups (as a developer). The failures were all due to lack of resources. Sometimes it was capital, sometimes it was programers, sometimes it was mangement. It was a shame really, to see such good ideas go to the wall.
So, your idea's might hold water, but the real skill is in developing that idea. I think quite a few ideas are not realised because they lack the resources to fully flesh it out. My idea is to gather like minded experienced and skilled people, then apply that to an idea. True it may take a really powerfull idea to galvanise the herd, but once the work animals are pointing in the right direction you can crush and destroy.
