L'Ouvre Boite: APIs : a strong barrier to entry

  • Martin · 1 year ago
    I don't know what is the value of Twitter, since the service has costs (including the SMS it sends for free to its users) but still not have any business model. It is difficult to claim a service is a success when it is free and still not monetized...

    Martin, actually, twitter makes money... they're probably not profitable, but the experiments they've made in Japan, where they added advertisement in the feed showed that the Company could probably make enough money to survive.

    Anyway, the goal of this post was not to discuss business models, but to say that opening APIs was definetely a key-success factor to get users!
