Open Thyself: Wesabe & Apple iPhone
Maybe this should have been one of the Ten Commandments, but I guess G-d felt that it might cause people to become internet and digital lifestyle junkies, espouse love thy brother beliefs, and move away from serious religious dedication.
In any case, I had posted a while ago about the need for Wesabe to open itself up a bit and think more like a social network. While it hasn’t really taken the social network advice to heart as of yet, it certainly has decided to open itself up (as reported by Mashable). At the time, Marc Hedlund had told me that he was working on bringing all of my suggested improvements into the site. So I suspect that he’s still working on the remainder.
In other news, Apple has chosen to take the exact opposite tack of the common open theory, and has proven its tactics to be highly successful. While my colleague at Zedge wasn’t very impressed, I thought the overall usability and experience was second to none and that the iPhone team has pulled it off. In truth, it doesn’t really matter what I say. Just look at the stock price.
Ben Bauman should now be a very rich man!
