Objaviti, kao, i naći: izgradnje otvorenog i kustos ekosistema

Većina ekosistema kao što su app trgovinama su ili otvorene ili kustos. Ali, zašto ne možemo imati i? Dobro, možemo — sve što trebate je tri glagola: objaviti, pronaći, i kao. To važi i za tehnologiju i sve ostalo.

Obično postoje dvije opcije kada želite objaviti aplikaciju: objavljujem da nešto kao iOS App Store (gdje ljudi će pronaći svoj app, ali Apple recenzenti može poreći svoj podnesak) ili samo staviti na vaše web stranice (gdje je lako objaviti, ali nema garancije neko će ga vidjeti.) Not the greatest set of options.

Isn’t there a way to combine the strengths of both of these to make for the best possible experience for both publishers and consumers? I think there is. It’s called an open and curated ecosystem. Let’s take a look at:

  • What open i curated ecosystems are
  • Examples of open and curated ecosystems
  • What you need to make an open and curated ecosystem
  • Examples of these ecosystems beyond just technology

and see if we can discover something about the power of crowdsourcing, innovation, and the three verbs objaviti, pronaći, i kao.

Curated vs. open ecosystems

The iOS App Store and open internet, among others, are app ecosystemsplaces where apps can be published and found. And I think the big factors that differentiate one ecosystem from another are whether the ecosystem is open, where anyone can publish apps and whether it is curated, where the best apps rise to the top and users are assured quality apps. That’s the major difference between the iOS store and the internet at large, which I mentioned earlier.

Let’s look at examples of curated and open ecosystems and what differentiates them.
