The most successful platforms are acting just like portals which is something like the ‘one stop shop’. When enter, we can find everything we want or a system that channels all of the value. Yahoo does not create most of the content it aggregates but even a platform like YouTube that embraces the distributed nature of the web is still acting like a portal. This is because YouTube is function by users upload and watch their videos. The challenge for any company that wants to scale in the distributed age is to create a platform that acts as a distributed portal and exists across the web.
