Marc Andreessen’s blog continues to impress. He has proved that being late to the party is not necessarily a bad thing.
I am constantly asking people if their startup is a web app, service or syndicated content. The days of saying “visit my website” are waning.
Marc goes deep into web platforms. Required reading as we all wrap our heads around Facebook apps, edge computing, Amazon’s S3 and SecondLife.
Marc “believes that in the long run, all credible large-scale Internet companies will provide Level 3 (Runtime Environments like Ning) platforms. Those that don’t won’t be competitive with those that do, because those that do will give their users the ability to so easily customize and program as to unleash supernovas of creativity.”
This post really got me thinking, a great way to end the week.
