let’s do this!!
After developing my first facebook app (more details soon) … I understand what the platform is all about. It is sort of following the open source model in the sense of…
Get lots of random people working on your tools for you!
I mean… both ends of the deal get something… but I could imagine this is the answer for “how do we leverage our community like an open source project does?”
On my way to Japan I was trying to explain creative commons to the person sitting next to me. My approach involved explaining the notion of “all rights reserved”, and then the licenses that CC offers. I think he got the idea, but it was convoluted and confusing.
Today, I was reading an editorial by Joi Ito (coincidently about recent events in Japan), and noticed how they explain CC: Creative Commons, a nonprofit group that develops flexible copyright arrangements.
That works too!
Just had to share this… LOTS more soon!
