View: Some open platforms are MLM

There is a long-standing contradiction between hosts and parasites on computer platforms. The first contact platform is the microcomputer operating system. At this level, the desktop software business is most afraid of the function of the operating system and its own software intersection. For example, after Microsoft antivirus software, antivirus software provider is very uncomfortable; After XP, few people use ACDSee. After entering the era of smartphone, platform culture will not open a lot? Not exactly what the iphone iOS5 has done recently. As you can see, the third party Twitter client on iOS is now on the wall.

Back to the point, talk about the network application era of open platform. This platform generally exists in the network with the open API, through the API, the developer may use the limited platform publication data to make the reuse to recreate. Users, developers, and platform providers are the three major elements of this circle. For a while everyone seems to have found the template for a benign biosphere. Now open Internet companies do not have the API is really embarrassed to greet others.

Lively open platform

It all looks beautiful. The host said, "Come on, I'll release the useful interface and data for you to play your imagination and passion!" "Developer," great, there are so many useful interfaces, I just add my creative to find someone to do a program to do the Internet products. "The user said," Oh, I want to use open platform products, there will be better and more applications on the platform. ”

Everyone has a small 99 in mind. The host thought, "I am a person so little energy, to quickly put the market bigger and stronger." Interface Open I said calculate, leave some behind, others let those geek play go, by the way look at their brains there is no valuable goods. Of course, to establish some positive hero image, give a few first, a little sweetness, increase the exposure rate, their beauty to all developers can see. "Developers or other Internet companies," now on the platform are the two goods, and these applications also pull investment, my creative good, profit model clear, practical operation and experience, I am not in the first. "The user thinks," Anyway are free, which family collect the money I will change the family, the open platform is good, one account to walk the world. ”

Everyone has the opportunity, although the idea is different but get along well, but the x pin is not harmonious? Platform business advocates free API, and so many people who first step into the success of the person placed there, is simply 0 of the risk of small broad, do not invite you to use is simply not the developer as a friend. Continue to join the developers and Internet companies, with their own youthful blood compose a virtuous circle of the hymn, they are very hard, but very substantial, approximation is to do the cause, usually have the time to meet to encourage each other is very important. Users, the most affordable, wall grass, casually pour.

The title I said, is some open platform, or some open platform is forced to encourage, VCs, performance, to do some obvious expansion, the taste of the X-pin here is even thicker.

I like to put examples to see what is happening or what has happened. First look at foreign countries, the general is considered to do more norms. Twitter.

"Twitter calls on developers to stop doing similar Twitter third-party clients", "Twitter buys TweetDeck, does its own client", and Twitter says it will introduce picture-sharing features (Twitpic ...). Hey) "

See the foreign country, find a considerable opponent, Sina Weibo. Weibo initially has a desktop side is a personal developer wing developed, because is the first, users surge Ah, a time report interview, it is called a lively. Now, Sina has just launched a client based on WP7 mobile phone, now from Linux to WP7 all the terminal system. LBS location-based Services Application seems very good to sell Ah, look at Sina's own micro-territory (the slogan is "Everything starts here", you are sure that the beginning of the word is not wrong?) )。 Some people put forward their own research to identify the true and false fans of the method of cooperation, the students do not know that Sina has a parameter called "valuable fans" mody.

Recently, some people have released the wind on Weibo Http://weibo.com/1605074473/eACpBCn7RaC:

My point is that the overall development of the open platform is good, but a handful is too impatient. As a majority of third parties to control their own weight, not too fat too strong. The fish in the fish tank is the wise fish who learn to sink to the bottom. This is a strong take-all era, but can do fish, mixed meal is not difficult to eat.
