At some point, I said that the vector of innovation has changed. It used to be that innovation started with NASA, flowed to the military, then to the enterprise, and finally to the consumer. Today, it is the reverse. All of the most interesting stuff is being built first for consumers and is tricking back to the enterprise. I suggested that one reason this is happening is that the success of a web service is more often determined by its social engineering than its electrical engineering. (source)
台灣的無名小站就是一個很好的例子。縱使技術上的瑕疵常被IT界長輩拿來茶餘飯後消遣，但台灣的social network驅動力(某種類型的人物，我就不多說了)一旦征服了無名相簿平台，點燃了social engineering的engine，成長隨即一發不可收拾…
想快速成長，選對你要服務的對象(與他們的心理)遠比選對要拿來當架構的技術重要，起碼在網路服務的世界是如此。
但成長和獲利，就又是兩碼子事了。
