Too much focus on who's gonna get what part of the money, before you're making any money whatsoever.

"Iter8r is a social bookmarking website that enables users to post and discover interesting articles and have discussions around them."

Don't mean to be dismissive, but that doesn't really sound like such a compelling proposition. How is this better than HN? Or Delicious? Or Reddit?

If he makes the data API truly open, as he says he will, it is incredibly enabling for a wide variety of 3rd-party applications to build on top. I'm not saying this will happen necessarily, but iter8r could potentially see a whole ecosystem built on top of its platform. That is, of course, if people use access to all the data.

We will open any aspect of the company- the data, the code, etc as long as it does not affect user privacy or cause us to run afoul of the law.

When we say Open, we really mean it.
