Abstract
Although there are any number of effective points of entry to a Web system project, many times we start with a concept, a need, and/or a story that moves the project forward from the point of being “just an idea.” Where an idea or need comes from is usually not something we need to spend much time on simply because in today’s busy world there is often times no shortage of them. Artists and entrepreneurs deal on the cutting edge of innovative ideas, and that is not out of the scope of the ideas of this book so it is certainly worth a good amount of thought. Without getting too philosophical here on the origins of ideas in the minds and brains of their thinkers, we can start to talk about some key elements of your project concepts such as vision, brand or message, communication and a balanced media ecosystem. Therefore it is without uncertainty that concept is a necessary node that must be considered when mapping the anatomy of sustainable Web ecosystem design.

There have been works written that address the issue of the origin of ideas and concepts. One suggestion is: O’Toole, Gregory. “The Machined Word.” The International Journal of the Arts in Society, Vol 2, No. 3. ISSN 1833-1866. Common Ground Publishing. 2007. For another start to this open-ended question, see “The Powers and Perils of Intuition” in Psychology Today by David G. Myers, published on November 01, 2002, last retrieved 23 Dec 2012 from http://www.psychologytoday.com/articles/200212/the-powers-and-perils-intuition. Malcom Gladwell’s Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking (Back Bay Books; 1 edition, April 3, 2007) is an interesting survey of intuitive “thin slicing” across history.
