Facebook To Become Level 3 Platform

Today, Marc Andreessen discussed in his blog the three types of platforms on the internet. In short the three platforms were:

  1. Level 1 – This is sites with a basic web service API. Many sites currently offer this including Amazon, Google, del.icio.us, flickr and many more.
  2. Level 2 – Level 2 is what Facebook currently is. Developers build applications that plug-in to the platform but host it themselves. The main problem with this version is that server load is handled by the developers.
