- Art a’Twitter
The coolest thing about open communities is the unexpected idea that comes of all the interaction. First, take a status message tool with a bunch of active users. Second, have one of those new users be a programmer. Third, make sure the host site releases an API to allow other developers to plug into the community. Fourth, be inspired by some of the things already out there. Bam! TwitterMosaic.
