It's funny seeing these guys on stage. On Wednesday, I asked the Microsoft guy to "keep it down" during one of the sessions.
- They developed their platform on open web technologies.
- There are different levels of platform, some that are application-specific and others that are more general.
- They are interested in advancing the capabilities in the underlying platform, such as the web browser.
- In the battle of Windows vs the Web, the Web has won.
- The platform: (1) drives activity in the ecosystem by enabling users to contribute, drives the creation of new ecosystems, such as virtual goods, and (3) is a great marketing vehicle.
- The platform allows developers to create new engaging experiences and monetize those experiences.
- The Travel Channel developed a Facebook application that generates more traffic than their dedicated web property.
- Feedback from developers is critical.
- 400,000 developers signed up for the Facebook platform, which far exceeded the goals from the original business plan.
- Facebook announced a collaboration with Salesforce at the Dreamforce conference.
- Building a platform with 3 goals: (1) comprehensive platform, (2) choice, so you can take what you like, and (3) take advantage of computing power available on the client.
- As you introduce new versions of the platform, compatibility with previous versions is important.
