  Can walled gardens continue thrive in an era of openness? Can a social network be social even though so little of the community's value is visible to the outside world? Facebook is writing this book as we speak.

  • Over the years we have seen time and again that open systems trump closed  loops. Back in the 1990s. Windows beat out the Mac operating system, in part,  because it was more open and it ran on all kinds of hardware. Later on, AOL was toppled, for among  other reasons, because web browsers and broadband connections liberated the most  valuable content inside the walled garden.

     

    Today, open systems are continuing to thrive. Wikipedia is growing in import  because we can all edit it, not just a select few. Google, Amazon and countless  others offer powerful APIs that  allow developers to add value with their own creations. Openness wins time and  again.

  To thrive, all social networks need to enable the community to create value. Facebook gets a big check mark there. However, they also need to give back to the web

    • Ah! These are some of the fundamental questions. Can walled gardens make it in any part of society? Or do the walls just shift, either in the location of the walls or the kinds of walls? I'm thinking of the space that the Japanese have learned to create about themselves even on very crowded commuter trains. Will Web 2.0 create different walls or just destroy all walls?

  Openness is thriving and so the old rules no longer apply. And that's difficult for people to contend with because the park is no longer pristine.
