Benedict Evans says the network is far more important than the publishing tool, “you want to be part of a network – a platform – of some kind, not just a publishing tool. A platform can create new revenue models where a CMS cannot.” He says the web is a filter just like Facebook because so much stuff gets created you couldn’t possibly expose it all. Bleh. A platform can also expose the web you own; it doesn’t have to be an enclosed ecosystem.
