Editor's Notes
Carl Shapiro and Hal Varian – network effect
Logo Montage
API as Product Soul
Robots.txt shows (in addition to ‘view source’) how a company wants to interface with the Open Web
Some products have only one outcome, but do not enable other connections
Others enable new opportunities, some as yet unknown
User experience at expense of all else Design reveals no initial plans forinteraction with other services
A reviews site with social elements superficially added later
