- 2. The Established Platform Definitions • Platforms are SimCity – Platforms are zoned, have established services, roads, and can react to environmental changes, agitations and nightmares with established procedures and the tools to adapt and correct. • Platforms live adjacent to other SimCity’s, and roads will be built between them by their creators and their users. • Platform APIs are infrastructure to enable the platform to grow and maintain.

- An API is asked questions and returns answers.
- A platform is asked questions and returns solutions!A platform can also take data inputs.Established Truths of Platforms:
- An API accepts data, but stores it and says “OK, I stored it.” Maybe your site or software reflects this data now.A platform accepts social actions with context.A platform also welcomes (some) data to interact with its users as a first-party experience: Salesforce, Facebook Apps, etc.Platforms take incoming social data and create something unique that is highly relevant to their experience.Platforms not only enable social, but they are social in and of themselves
- Platforms are naturally social. They comingle with other platforms and live first-party and third-party. A fully realized platform acts as if any place its used and lives is EQUAL with its first party home.The Facebook platform: comments engine, sign in infrastructure, FBX, the Like button, friendfinders, OpenGraph Interestingly, some of these are getting turned off.Twitter: TwitterCards, sign in, widgets, posting as a social action, not just an activity feed.
- If you’re a platform, you recognize that social activity happens everywhere. Sharing, recognition, transactions, conversation.You could be social without that, but you might not be contextual– you’ll be bringing content only in by reference– and you won’t be able to be referenced.A truly Social Platform tells another platform “Hey, our Platform found your Platform interesting, here, with this user.”
