For a lot of users it was their first SMS to Web interface.

Right, but that's not an innovation.

Okay, maybe that's not YOUR definition of innovation.

I personally like this one:

[icebraining]

Is there any product that wouldn't fit that definition?

[ksk]

Products that are clones of other successful products. Which is tens of millions of products. There aren't many industries with single vendors. I think the definition perfectly captures how most people think about innovation.

It might not be much of an invention, but it is an innovation.

[icebraining]

So if I make a clone of some existing product and give it to users that never used that kind of product before, I'm being innovative?

[KGIII]

Absolutely. Pushing a product to a new group of people is innovation. It's innovation in the business aspect, not innovative on the tech side.
