Recipe for a successful business: One part openness, two parts trust
,----[ Quote ]
| I'm reminded of an article Dana Blankenhorn
| wrote a few years back, where he noted that
| trust lies at âthe heart of open source.â
| Trust is what motivates software coders to
| open up their projects to communities of
| strangers. It drives a CIO to choose an
| open source vendor, who won't lock them
| into a particular technology or brand. And
| it is broken when a social networking (and
| advertising) business repeatedly strongarms
| its users into pushing their private
| information out to the world.
