What Hacker News says?
Reminded of this Chamath quote attributed to Bill Gates in an interview with Semil Shah about Facebook's platform. "I remember when we raised money from Bill Gates...and Gates said something along the lines of, 'That’s a crock of shit. This isn’t a platform. A platform is when the economic value of everybody that uses it, exceeds the value of the company that creates it. Then it’s a platform.'" http://haystack.vc/20…
