How many ideas have you sat on only to see them explode years later?

I've had dozens of ideas that I never had time to take advantage of. A large chunk of them were developed years later and a few of them took off like a rocket. I've always been stingy with what I do online and with 9 years of adult under my belt only three people were given the keys to the kingdom. One was my cousin that looted it all and owed me $50,000 when he died, the other two were friends that I still work with today.

I finally made an offer to share one of my unexploited business models on GFY. Because of other projects I absolutely would not have time to do it properly by myself anytime in the distant future. It still feels like giving a kid up for adoption or something.

So how many ideas are you sitting on and how many have you sat on long enough to see them developed out from under you? The biggest one I can think of is the myfreecams business model. I figured on crowd sourced funding of webcam shows to be a huge hit at least 5 years ago but after getting pissed off at available software I shelved it.
