@navybook @derek5coms There are 2 kinds of open APIs: standards-based & proprietary (their own design). News orgs tend to build the latter.
@derek5coms @navybook That reads as being cost-orientated too. Makes sense for infrastructure; much less so for end-user products.
Non-tech friends: Do you know what open source software is? What are its benefits? Do you trust it?

Excited to discover that one of our corporate cards has been used to buy goods in Kuwait. I wonder what we bought? #ilovesurprises

@econproph The #indieweb community has been great at creating an ecosystem. Working code over mailing lists and standards bodies.
Blackboard's software is terrible. Horrible architecture, terrible service, closed in every way possible. EdTech needs more open solutions.
@dlin71 And as soon as someone lands on a square and has to pay rent they move to Oakland. It's a very quick game.
