API is not a feature, it's a blood and air of the business. Why it's even considered situation when a large public business doesn't provide some API? Imagine a presentation that explains: breathing is extremly important for living, everyone who's not breath are dead now! And those who breathes are very alive! Bs.

What you are talking is a part of the Steve Klabnik presentation yesterday at APIdays event "Why Open?" in Paris.

He talked about exactly what you're saying, look a this photo of its slide about "organisation of organs" with APIs http://twitter.com/Anton_in/status/275614644557717504/photo/...

We will release soon his slides...

I know this isn't reddit and I don't mean to be childish, but in case the creator of that slideshow will see this thread: slide 4 looks like somebody thinking about APIs while giving another person fellatio. You may want to rethink that slide.

To a certain extent, isn't SOA trying to be a more business savy model of enterprise APIs?

Business Development is API driven now. The Virality is created and Included in the product/platform and use it to distribute across the web.

Yep yep yep. I must remember when I see the 1 millionth domain name suggestion website to plug our api:

Having somewhat biological background, I've wondered if it is about bees. The page and slide title are correct though (APIs).

great slideshare! A lot of interesting and informative numbers -- really reminds you of the continous intertwining between business and technology

This is clearly a good prez to look at. Wo do you think is adressing these points in the space? Apigee? Webshell?

We made it for helping people in big organizations and in startups to better understand ROI of APIficiation of a business. New distribution models, scalability and architecture, open innovation

The "building bricks company" or the "API driven company"

My IT infrastructure is Amazon

My CRM is Salesforce

My Storage is Box.net etc...

Lots of players in API economy

You have API managements solution : Layer7, SOAsoftware, APIgee, Mashery, 3scale and plenty of new ones.

Then you have API distribution channels with market place and automation platforms : Mashape, Zapier, Apiary Temboo, elastic, IFTTT, Webshell

To my mind, this is all API economy which is addressing this point.

Downvoted for bad spelling.
