Federated applications, atomized content and functionality, 3rd party product ecosystems through open APIs, and much more are required to establish a strong and resilient network effect which fends off competitors that are themselves bringing these potent new competencies to bear. In fact, one of the things we emphasize over and over again in our conference workshops and in Web 2.0 A quick search of the job aggregator SimplyHired tells the tale: Nearly a thousand Web designer positions are available while only 36 OpenSocial and 40 open API positions are open, for example.

Twitter: A Marketer's Duct Tape
By way of comparison, the Boston Globe had a circulation in 2008 of about 350,000 — which is falling at a rate of 8-9% per year.

The Twitter Gold Mine & Beating Google to the Semantic Web
One of the great successes of Twitter has been their APIs and the wonderful applications and sites that users have built with them. Why not build out an advertising or search API that delivers the latest micro level tags or ad links of users interests? There's always been jabs at Twitter for not having a viable business model and the chatter has increased in the current economic climate. In a recent interview Evan Williams, Twitter CEO, said "We had planned to focus on revenue in 2010 but that's no longer the case, so we changed the plan quite a bit...
