The Web as operating system網路作業系統
October 19th, 2007 | by ian | 2007年10月19日|由伊恩|Alistair阿利斯泰爾 , who has been writing recently at GigaOM, puts together ,誰已書面最近在gigaom ,提出一起 the most lucid synthesis I have seen on the topic of the “Web OS.”最清晰的合成我所看到的關於這個專題的“網絡操作系統” 。
Big Internet companies are making themselves the OS of the web 2.0 world.大的互聯網公司正在作出自己的操作系統的Web 2.0世界。 In addition to the fundamentals — operating a web application, storing data, handling logins — each company has a core expertise.在除了基本面-經營一個W eb應用程序,存儲數據,處理登錄-每個公司的核心專長。 In Google’s case, it’s page ranking and relevance; Facebook maps social relationships; Salesforce knows about customer relationships; and eBay has an auction and reputation engine.在Google的情況下,它的網頁排名和關聯性; Facebook的地圖的社會關係; Salesforce的知道客戶關係;和易趣拍賣和聲譽的引擎。
Each of these web OS service platforms by their natures can in theory interoperate, and competitors can in theory be mixed and matched.每個這些Web OS的服務平台,通過其性質可以在理論上互通,和競爭對手可以在理論上,混合和匹配。 Alistair points out that developers who use these sites as platforms still have tenuous relationships with the terms of use (such as the vibrant Facebook developer community).阿利斯泰爾指出,開發商誰使用這些網站作為平台仍然有微妙的關係,與使用條款(如生機勃勃的Facebook的開發者社區) 。 This will be pretty contentious, as many of the big web site “platforms” have incentives to build their own apps.這將是相當具爭議性,許多大網站的“平台”有誘因,建立自己的應用服務。 But all software platform companies realize that developer communities are the key to success, and if Facebook doesn’t find the right balance of developer rights and incentives someone else will.但所有軟件平台的公司認識到,開發社區是成功的關鍵,如果Facebook的不找到正確的平衡,開發商的權利和獎勵別人。 In an ideal world we assume a free market where the user can basically choose their web OS options from a range of competitors.在一個理想的世界,我們假設一個自由市場的地方,用戶可以選擇他們基本上是網絡操作系統的選擇從一系列的競爭者。 The question is how much competition can the market sustain (can there be multiple platforms for each service (who competes with eBay?) and can there be multiple winners within the ecosystems that run “atop” those platforms. I think the answer to the latter is yes, but my concern is with the former (competition for platforms) and how much collusion there will be between the established “components” to band together monopolistically (eBay and Facebook sitting in a tree), which has been a bit of an issue in the software world.問題是有多少的競爭,才能維持市場(可以有多個平台為每個服務(誰的競爭與eBay ? )和可以有多個得獎者內部的生態系統上運行的“上蓋”這些平台。我想答案後者是肯定的,但我所關注的是與前(競爭平台)和多少勾結會有之間既定的“組成部分”樂隊一起monopolistically (易趣和Facebook ,坐在一棵樹) ,其中已有點問題在軟件世界。
In a slight digression I leave you with the following totally awesome video on the nature of information and how the web is setting it free:在一個輕微的題外話我離開你符合以下完全可怕的視頻資料的性質,以及如何在網上設置,它是免費的:

Agree — some standards like OpenID promise to create consistent services (in this case authentication) across these “operating systems” but most of the systems remain proprietary.同意-一些標準,像o penid的承諾,創造一貫的服務(在這種情況下驗證)在所有這些“作業系統” ,但大多數系統仍然是專有的。
Still, a demonstration of Popfly, recently out of closed beta, by Microsoft, showed it’s pretty easy to build applications by stitching together metadata (images, names, and so on) from other sites such as Facebook, Flickr, and Google Image Search.還有,示範popfly ,最近走出封閉測試版,微軟,顯示它的方法很簡單,以建立一個應用程式,由拼接在一起的元數據(圖片,名稱等)從其他網站,如Facebook的, flickr , Google圖片搜索。
