- Who is the "Author" of This Book of Tweets? | Publishing Perspectives "The dematerialization of cultural products is in the process of revolutionizing the notion of the “book.” User generated content, online publishing tools and mostly social media are empowering individuals both in the virtual world and on the streets, and appear to be in the process of revolutionizing the notion of “authorship.”"
- 1UP: The importance of platforms, and how we’re extending ours | Foursquare Blog "For instance, if you look up a restaurant in the foursquare API, we give you our ID number for that location.
