If you happen to be attending this, come by and say hello. I'm speaking on Thursday, about open gardens versus walled ones. Can you guess which side of that fence I sit?
A little further ahead. I'll be in NYC from this coming Saturday until and including Tuesday 17th.
I'm speaking at WidgetWebExpo. Hope I'll see you there.

The rate of change is so rapid it's difficult for one person to keep up to speed. Let's pool our thoughts, share our reactions and, who knows, even reach some shared conclusions worth arriving at?
Are there any historical examples of walled gardens that work long term? I'm thinking communism, railroads, telegraph, news empires...
ReplyDeleteThey all end up opening up or being broken up.
er, nope, can't think of a one. Itunes is doing ok so far though, no?
ReplyDeleteiTunes is a good point, however its long-term viability is yet to be proven. It also does a good job of inclusiveness, even carrying some of the very obscure stuff I like.
ReplyDeleteAnd, of course, does it make (enough) money for the whole value chain? I don't know!
