"Their models are only as similar as their dependence on their dev community for revenue."

Agreed. Andreessen interview is good. http://www.charlierose.com/...

I could have sworn you were just arguing that Facebook wasn't opening
up. And you didn't see the intersection of Twitter and FB's model.

Fred, Like this post and your post from yesterday. Extremely relevant for companies looking to create value online especially those primarily funded by the Ad/CPM world.

Kevin Kelly's Laws of Value apply here. From his Ted Presentation:
Copies Have no Value.
Value is in the Uncopyable.
Media wants to be liquid.
Network Effects Rule.

I agree with you Pete. More and more, Google is portalizing their search results. In time, search will have to be open sourced and released under some sort of GPL. But that is not anytime soon, and it will be projects like the above that will allow Google to diversify their revenue streams in order to give up search as their main money maker.

But media wants to be liquid.

@David, awesome and thanks for the quote. The column just came by my inbox. :)

@Katie I definitely want to see this tool and talk with you. In re to the commenting on the other post(argh!), Disqus might be more of a pain than it is worth. To your point on NY; I don't want to think about that right now.

the idea would be that you would have a certain amount of control over your data that you could do what you want with. I could even see the day when an ad comes with a little statement, "why you are seeing this ad" that when clicked could give you your activity stream for why that ad is being served to you.
