Exponent — #052 All About Ads

Really great @ExponentFm episode based on @Stratechery blogpost "How Google is Challenging AWS" (https://stratechery.com/2016/how...) about business strategy of cloud and product vs service. Also in the discussion were mentioned Apple, Microsoft, and Facebook. Arguing that Facebook is not a platform @BenThompson used sharp quote by @BillGates to define what platform is and what it's not: "A platform is when economic value of everybody that uses it exceeds the value of a company that creates it. Then it's a platform."
