Saw this post on the Publishing 2.0 blog and thought it was quite interesting. It's about proprietary applications/networks like Facebook and whether they are the future of the Web. Here's an extract but it's worth reading Scott Karp's article in full.
- Google CEO Eric Schmit has wondered in the past why some companies are still “betting against the internet“
The web is made possible by open, interoperable standards for content and communication, e.g. http, HTML, hyperlink, SMTP, etc. — will the future of the web be based on closed, proprietary standards for content and communication?
No company can touch Google’s ability to monetize the use of the open web — the more people use the web, the more money Google makes. Can Facebook compete with Google by eschewing the open web and open standards? Or is Facebook betting against the internet?
Hmmmm…..
