A maioría dos ecosistemas, tales como tendas de aplicacións son abertos ou curador. Pero por que non podemos ter os dous? Ben, pudermos — todo o que precisa é de tres verbos: publicar, atopar, e como. Iso vale para a tecnoloxía e algo.
Xeralmente hai dúas opcións cando quere publicar unha aplicación: public-lo en algo parecido ao IOS App Store (onde as persoas van atopar a súa app, pero colaboradores de Apple pode negar a súa submisión) ou simplemente poñelas na súa páxina web (onde é doado para publicar, pero non hai ningunha garantía de que ninguén vai velo.) 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 e 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 publicar, atopar, e como.
Curated vs. open ecosystems
The iOS App Store and open internet, among others, are app ecosystems — places 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.
