The Age of the Platform Has Arrived

On that one word that everyone is talking about.

Don't tell me that we're not in the Age of the Platform.

Mashable is adding more platform partners. I'm hearing more and more about government as a platform. At CES, the auto manufacturers were talking about the car as a platform. GigaOM reports that Kickstarter is a hot funding platform.

Everyone is talking about platforms. You can't watch a business or technology show without someone dropping that term every five minutes.

Today, the platform is king.
