Ads and Widgets: two battlefields, one solution

There’s a war raging on out there and I ain’t talking ’bout Pakistan, Palestine, Iraq or Darfur. I’m talking ’bout the war over openness - open platforms and access to end-user’s data and social graphs.

Its a war over money, Ads and Widgets. New eco-systems which breed VCs, greed and acquisitions. Little companies are getting bought, VC funds are getting setup and its all over this silly notion of ‘monetizing‘ people.
