Adam Bosworth on Platforms
Adam Bosworth's Weblog: What is the platform? Really interesting perspective and outlook on technology platforms from Adam Bosworth (former BEA, Microsoft and now VP at Google).
"The platform of this decade isn't going to be around controlling hardware resources and rich UI. Nor do I think you're going to be able to charge for the platform per se. Instead, it is going to be around access to community, collaboration, and content. And it is going to be mass market in the way that the web is mass market, in the way that the iPod is mass market, in the way that a TV is mass market. Which means I think that it is going to be around services, not around boxes."
And we think the platforms upon which a number of other folks base their businesses and make money doing so will be most successeful.
