I think your approach to create the "sports team" mentality in corporations is a clever way to tap into the emotion. Great presentation at SMX West, by the way! Dennis Atif,

Level 3 platform specific to the requirements of social media -- that's brilliant. Matt - It's a testament to Marc Andreessen that we're debating his ideas.

I agree that social media companies need to first and foremost provide network value to third party developers before they provide IT value. A platform is only as strong as its user base (ie. network or social graph). Case in point, Ning. Marc considers his own company as a Level 3 social platform. Yet Ning's platform adoption by developers has been limited (compared to say Facebook's) precisely because it had less network value to start with. If I'm a developer building apps I'm looking for the highest ROI. Cost savings provided by bundled IT services in Ning's platform does not outweigh greater user acquisition using Facebook's platform. My own company, Social Wire, is a Level 3 social application distribution platform. But unlike other Level 3 platforms we don't have the problem of providing network value to developers since applications built on our platform and using our framework are compatible with all the major Level 2 social platforms... Facebook and OpenSocial sites. We provide the cost-savings developers crave from bundled application IT management and code-sharing, as well as immediate access to large networks of users. Best of all, applications part of the Social Wire "network" can share information through our own API. No this is not recursive, It goes to fill a market need of social application information sharing. Keep posting as frequently as you can! Very helpful and insightful! Atif--
