What I'm curious is why there's not yet a marketplace for consumer-generated data. Thinking things like wearables. Is it that these wearables are too miserly over their data, or are there other considerations that make this more difficult than some of the more common ones I've seen such as e-commerce and supply chain.
I see examples for medical data in this thread, which is notoriously slow to "open," so I'm curious what the reasoning may be...
- dajohnson89 6y agoSurely privacy is a huge concern, especially for something like wearables.
- carterklein13 6y agoI think I may be missing the point of what the article is getting at with API-as-a-marketplace versus traditional API marketplaces. I think even after reading the article and looking at some of the examples, I'm confused at what's being talked about here, and some of the additional concerns that would arise with something like wearbles. It seems like API-as-a-marketplace are providing services where an Instagram-like company could add the "Instagram shops" section right into their application as opposed to have to make a separate shop and checkout process?
- bwertz 6y agoHumanapi (https://www.humanapi.co/ https://www.humanapi.co/) is building something in this regard
- JacobDotVI 6y agoI would argue that ad auctions on Google and Facebook are a form of marketplaces for consumer-generated data.
