STOP Sharing that Facebook Privacy and Permission Notice, It's a HOAX

Thanks for commenting. That's exactly what I heard :-)

Yes, and "staying connected" is really important, because that's what actually generating the enormous value of any platform connecting people and/or services. Here's an episode out of a textbook on platforms that might be interesting to you:


Asset builders develop physical assets that they use to deliver physical goods; companies like Ford and Walmart are examples.

Service providers employ workers who provide services to customers; companies like UnitedHealthcare and Accenture are examples.

Technology creators develop and sell forms of intellectual property, such as software and biotechnology; Microsoft and Amgen are examples.

And network orchestrators develop networks in which people and companies create value together—in effect, platform businesses.

[HERE IT COMES:]

The research suggests that, of the four, network orchestrators are by far the most efficient value creators. On average, they enjoy a market multiplier (based on the relationship between a firm’s market valuation and its price-to-earnings ratio) of 8.2, as compared with 4.8 for technology creators, 2.6 for service providers, and 2.0 for asset builders.
