Internet Access but No Running Water
Kiva Stories from the Field: You have constant access to the Internet but no running water? – http://tr.im/j1H7
TC: “Of course, Twitter is still far, far behind Facebook in terms of users. And at the end of the day it would seem the the service that controls the most users will win what ReadWriteWeb’s Marshall Kirkpatrick has named the ‘calling card’ battle. MySpace is in the battle as well, as is Google. But Facebook up until now has seemed to have most of the momentum in this space. Twitter could alter that a bit. If it cares to.”
RWW: “Twitter’s version of the calling card should be more developer friendly and it’s already more standards adherent, which is another way to say developer friendly. Prove you are who you say you are to Twitter and it will give sites you approve a big open field of your data to work with. In other words, web developers should be able to do a whole lot more for me when I give them my Twitter calling card than if I give them one from Facebook. – At least that’s the way I suspect it will unfold in the near term. This battle is far, far from over though and it’s an important one to the future of the connected web.“
