Mr. Bing,

I think the comments are almost as humorous as your post. Especially the guy who doesn’t get it. I like to keep guys like that around the office. They amuse me.

I like the ThinkBox idea. I find thinking to be extremely tiresome and would just as well have someone else do it for me. Sorry, I’ve got to go, my Blackberry just told me it is time to brush my teeth.

the thing about putting your thoughts out there is that not everyone will get it. certainly not someone who takes a whole 2 minutes to read 8 very short paragraphs. if they do then be worried

See, this is the kind of thing that drives me just a few yards around the bend. A whole bunch of nice, thoughtful, amusing comments, and then this guy, who complains that he has wasted two minutes of his time on my idea for a content-free company, bemoans the fact that he has not been visiting a “serious business minded magazine/website,” and scolds me for wasting his time. You think I’ll spend the next day or so relishing the kind, intelligent, amusing observations offered by my other readers? Perhaps a little. But it will be this sourpuss that sticks in my craw for the next 72 hours to the point where only two martinis will wash him away.

I just wasted 2 minutes of my life reading this moronic article. And here I thought, Fortune.com was a serious business minded magazine/website. Waste of time Bing, waste of time.

Dear Mr Bing

Let me be the first to congratulate you and welcome you to the era of pap companies. Unlike the first wave of realy pointless internet experiences, this second wave is lighter. No products, no warehouses, ultimately no point. I predict that social networks will become the new Wal-Mart. I do..really

I have an idea for a company.

My company is going to be called ThinkBox. What we will do is implant a small microchip in people’s heads and record their thoughts. These thoughts will be uploaded onto our servers and broadcast on a channel for that person. Eventually, our company is going to replace the human brain. Our motto will be “We Take The Thinking Out Of Thinking”. Of course there will be ethicists and lwayers who will try to ruin our plans. But these people will be tarred-and-feathered until they agree with us.

Throw in a huge office park with mindless carnival activities for the creatives to unwind and indoor putting greens for the hip execs to prophesy and weve got a deal

Brilliant! I hereby apply for a position with your start-up. I ask no monetary compensation–a 15% share upon sale will suffice. What do you get for that 15% investment? I am certain I can actualize the potential profitability of the concept.
