The world is Open
I’ve been having that discussion at least 3 times this week… so I guess it is worth writing down !
Guys, the world is open ! Success of newest ventures such as Facebook are based only in one fact : they provide an open framework where geeks can create value and leverage on the user base at incredible speed. Today, someone willing to create a closed service would be seen probably as insane, as the end users wants to enjoy new tools his own way ! He want them on igoogle, on netvibes, on facebook, on his mobile, he wants to share it, to mash it up with other services, to show it on his blog and only that way will the end user become loyal to the service provider and will spend time putting his own personal data within the service provider’s database !
The world is open remember that
