The Great Giveaway

I ran into this great article in Busienss 2.0 on open APIs and the benefits that Amazon, eBay and Google see from them.

It’s particularly timely - as I’m in Seoul Korea pitching. I’m trying to convince this huge company to spend all this money and then giveaway all the code - to us. It’s just so obvious to me - why they should pursue this strategy - but the challenge - of course - is to make it obvious to them.

I see this as my job right now - crusading the notion of open source infrastructure. I can just taste it.

    Did you really post a link to a story that had a teaser and one has to pay to read? So much for open source content ;-)…or just call me cheap :-)
