Comments on: What if every company had an API? http://www.mdaniels.com/what-if-every-company-had-an-api/ Branding and the Internet Tue, 10 Jan 2012 19:36:21 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.2 By: delynator http://www.mdaniels.com/what-if-every-company-had-an-api/comment-page-1/#comment-336 delynator Tue, 09 Mar 2010 04:58:48 +0000 http://www.mdaniels.com/?p=649#comment-336 Great post, Matt! I'd argue that any company that has an online, mobile, set-top, gaming console, desktop or other platform presence today -- be they traditional brick & mortar retailers, media companies, telecomms giants, financial services -- can benefit from product development efficiencies inherent to building with APIs in "the Web way." I agree with you that Web services and APIs are not just for the Twitters, Diggs and Flickrs, nor the Web-based giants anymore. In 2010, the smart money is investing to become more nimble, adaptable and preparing for disruption before it happens. Great post, Matt!

I really like this one too. Its all about transparency. Bringing people into the fold. It definitely helps with the perception of the company as an "honest" company. Its great for them too, you have people developing your software and you don't even have to pay them or...there healthcare. <br><br>Furthermore, on transparency, I am watching this show right now where a CEO goes undercover in his own company. This guy is the CEO of Waste Management. Up until now, I thought the mob ran WM. I definitely have a more sympathetic view of WM now. Seems more benevolent to me. You should write an article on this show! Your on fire with your posts lately. I really like this one too. Its all about transparency. Bringing people into the fold.
