Developers and APIs Aren't A Business Model

Filed in archive Companies by Dameon Welch-Abemathy on June 28, 2008

Jaduka originally released their APIs for their telephony platform over a year ago, which can easily be used to integrate with other applications. Open the platform, let the masses create their own voice mashups, or so the theory went.

Developers signed up, alright, but they didn't create much. While the APIs are still there and you can sign up for their developer program, Jaduka switched strategies, providing custom applications to enterprises on their own. The end result? Over 4 million minutes of voice traffic a month.

Makes me wonder how many of Ribbit's more than 2,000 participants in their development program are actually developing money-making applications. It also makes me wonder if they have a plan B, because developers and an API aren't a business model.
