Update zu Web Mash-ups
Found this post by the guy who was interviewed by the folks of Business Week, noted in my post of late and adding to this other post …
notice that he adds that
the only issue that wasn’t addressed (based on the audience of BusinessWeek) was the ramifications of opening up your data as a business move (especially for startups) [… mind …] the positive and negative aspects of opening an API as a business move.
Well put, implications are complex, not only when thinking of market growth, speed, (key/innovating/lead/…) user acceptance, signalling to the competition etc. … think e.g. of the opportunity to grow a business ecosystem just by opening the API and inviting others to contribute … business model innovation issues galore!
