An Open Letter to Mark Zuckerberg →
Dalton Caldwell in his open letter to Mark Zuckerberg:
I believe that future social platforms will behave more like infrastructure, and less like media companies. I believe that a number of smaller, interoperable social platforms with a clear, sustainable business models will usurp you. These future companies will be valued at a small fraction of what Facebook and Twitter currently are. I think that is OK. Platforms are judged by the value generated by their ecosystem, not by the value the platforms directly capture.
Right on. And Caldwell isn’t just blowing smoke on the internet, he’s making something in an attempt to fix the internet. If you value open, free-flowing information, backing App.net is a no-brainer.
