    Still not getting it -- how do you do business development via APIs?

      In the past you got distribution by making deals with partners. Now you get distribution via APIs (think Facebook and Apple).

        An API is still an application programming interface right? What kind of distributon / business development are we talking about here? And how can it possibly be conducted through an API?

            The definition of business development here being actions done by users in an app, showing up on facebook?
