Consumer Web Platforms: Apps & Customer Acquisition (TieCon 2009)

Here are a few background slides from discussion i'll be leading today at TiECon 2009 on Consumer Web Platforms & Customer Acquisition.  The slides are a little rough, as i pulled the info from some rather old blog posts on platforms, but hopefully still useful for the conversation.  Apologies for any oversights / omissions, i'm sure there are many.

My money is on the "Rebel Alliance". They've been leading the fight so far.

And with payments, a mobile platform, and real time search, they'll be stepping into Google's turf.

Slide #3: I'd add "social loop." Eg: write a comment in blog post, forum or other messaging medium and check back later to see if anyone's commented back.
