Ideas define execution. In the end, a poorly executed idea is worthless. But so is a bad idea that's executed well.

Because I know someone will point out the number of businesses that were copies of other businesses, I feel it's important to note that most of these weren't "true" copies. For example, you can't really consider facebook to be a true clone of myspace. Clearly Zuckerberg had some original ideas of his own.
