« Facebook is the opposite of what I'm looking for | Main | Longevity pill on track; FCC unlocks phones; 'That's Amore,' blues links; Chris Walken cooking video; Justice Roberts, human; » August 1, 2007Facebook, Day 2Newsies Steve Outing (Looking for the anti Facebook) and Ryan Sholin (Find yourself a nice comfortable niche and sell it like blueberry pancakes) both seized on my lead on yesterday's Facebook post as an argument for niche networks. Somewhere, I like to think, there is or will be a network comprising only those who can find it. And when I finally stumble in there, they’ll say, “We’ve been waiting for you.” I confess I was thinking less concretely, more like The Journey to the East. It was actually the last thing I wrote, but sometimes the conclusion at the end of thinking and writing a piece is actually the natural lead. I never know how it will come out. The great thing about the Internet was and is that it's the platform without a platform vendor. That's why it has been the engine of growth and innovation for so long, over thirty years now. There's no entity with eminent domain to foreclose on a developer's relationship with customers. And none of us are incentivized to care for a platform's garden in the same way we are with the community garden.... From our side: Broken links: bad. All Facebook links are broken if you haven't joined the crowd.
