Web 2.0 Barriers To Entry
I just finished reading a large number of posts, articles and email on the broad topic of "what must web 2.0 companies do in order to prosper".
Credit to Mike Rundle for his "...separators/questions that I think all "web 2.0" companies should be analyzing and answering themselves:
Are we actually useful or just fun to play with?
Are we actually innovating or just mashing/copying?
Are there barriers to enter our market, or can anyone be us?"
This is very basic stuff, but it doesn't get said nearly often enough.
Especially point #2 resonates with me. Remember, if you are just mashing, you are building value for the owners of the APIs, not your own company.
