I think slightly differently here. Building tools to leverage these platforms seems like a really easy way to generate some revenue. I think relying on that revenue is the problem. So many companies build just one revenue stream. When that revenue stream is interupted or destroyed the company is destroyed. The whole do one thing and do it well is the core issue, do one thing until you reach a certain point and start doing another thing, and repeat.
