Interesting. I wrote on Monday about Marc Andreessen’s latest essay on Internet Platforms. Talis Platform Advisory Group member Jon Udell chips in with a brief but interesting take on this today.

“There’s a level 4 platform waiting in the wings. At level 4, the cloud of storage and computation is partly centralized in a handful of intergalactic clusters, and partly distributed across a network of humble peers. Microsoft’s forthcoming Internet service bus is one example of a level 4 platform. I hope, and expect, we’ll see others.”

Have a read, and follow Jon’s links. As usual, it’s worth it…
