Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The software economy is eating the world, but it’s platforms that are dominating the Internet and our economy. Collectively, platforms dominate the Internet and our economy.

#2 The dominance of platform businesses isn't limited to the United States. The economies of many developing countries were growing rapidly at the same time that Internet access became widespread. And because these countries didn't have the existing commercial infrastructure that developed economies did, their industries were shaped around the Internet.

#3 The company, Pets. com, was the most memorable company from the dot-com Super Bowl. It had a problem, however: Its business model was broken. The company had high fixed costs and had to price low to compete with existing pet stores, even though many of these stores already had razor-thin margins on pet food.

#4 In 1995, a computer programmer wrote code for a website that would become known as eBay. It was a digital marketplace where people could buy and sell anything over the Internet. Its revenue grew by 1,200 percent in its first year.
