Opening social networks?

2007-08-10 00:43:35 by Fabio Forno

Wired calls for freeing social networks: Slap in the Facebook: It's Time for Social Networks to Open Up,  PSA calls the Jabber community for offering an answer. We agree with Peter, but before starting we need to make coexist these two contrasting perceptions of Web 2.0 (and of social networks) I gave yesterday:

  • users' point of view: anything enabling realtime sharing of data and collaboration
  • businesses' point of view: anything making users spending more time on a website

Unless the second point is satisfied no site like Facebook will completely open, since  they run the risk of losing the main source of their revenues: advertisement.
