,----[ Quote ]
| Kim Polese, chief executive officer of open-source software
| integrator SpikeSource, says her costs are less than a tenth of
| what they were six or seven years ago. Tantek Celik, chief
| technologist for Technorati, agrees, saying such services have
| "made it much easier and a whole lot cheaper to get up and running."
|
| The potential of these modern-day platforms goes way beyond
| providing digital utilities. They can be a force for growth and
| competitiveness. As long as you're smart about how and when to
| take advantage of them, you can use open platforms as a
| foundation on which to build a successful business ecosystem.

| Open platforms enable the small to become mighty--something today's
| generation of Web entrepreneurs learned from the open-source
| software community.
