Publicēt, tāpat, un atrast: izveidotu atvērtu un kurators ekosistēmu

Lielākā daļa ekosistēmas, piemēram, lietotņu veikalos ir atvērts vai kurators. Bet kāpēc mēs nevaram būt gan? Labi, mēs varam — viss, kas jums nepieciešams, ir trīs vārdi: publicēt, atrast, un tāpat. Tas pats attiecas uz tehnoloģiju un kaut kas cits.

Parasti ir divi varianti, ja jūs vēlaties, lai publicēt lietotni: publicēt to kaut kā iOS App Store (kur cilvēki atradīs savu lietotni, bet Apple recenzenti var noliegt savu iesniegumu) vai vienkārši ielieciet to savā mājas lapā (kur tas ir viegli publicēt, bet nav garantijas, kāds to redzēs.) 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 un 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 publicēt, atrast, un tāpat.

Curated vs. open ecosystems

The iOS App Store and open internet, among others, ir 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.

5 nenovērtējami bezmaksas produktivitātes progr koledžā

Pirms dažiem gadiem es rakstīja par noderīgas progr par vidusskolu — bet tagad koledža ir šeit, un tas rada pilnīgi jaunu komplektu prasībām. Kopš Es ierados Harvard, Man bija darīt vairāk, un manas progr bija jādara vairāk too.

Šie jaunie lietotnes nepieciešams darbojas uz visām platformām (Logi, Mac, Android, iOS), sinhronizēt nemanāmi starp tām, un palīdz man saglabāt manu dati organizēti. Viņiem ir jābūt universāls, robusts, un viegli-to-izmantot. Un viņiem ir jābūt bezmaksas.

With that in mind, here are the five apps that I’ve relied on most at Harvard and that I recommend to anyone in college or anywhere else in life. They’re ranked in order of usefulness.

Can’t get enough Angry Birds? Play it online

Playing Angry Birds 1-1

If your phone’s battery keeps dying on you because you spend all your time playing the wildly popular mobile game Angry Birds (or if you’re too cheap to buy Angry Birds), you should be pretty excited about this latest development.

You can now play Angry Birds online here. Here’s what you need:

  1. A decent browser (more on that later)
  2. Adobe Flash (Atvainojiet, iDevice users)

As the URL (chrome.angrybirds.com) might hint, Angry Birds works best in Chrome. I’ve tried it on several browsers and here’s what I’ve found:
