To make this model work, there was another IRC backchannel that streamed audio from the conference and someone did the equivalent of live tweeting. One of the reflections.

I generally see consulting firms serving the top couple percent of the market using APIs to do interesting edge cases. I suppose if there were a lot of charity focused intermediaries that wanted to build and market applications on top of a platform, then there would be a huge incentive to maintain platform neutral APIs.
