— Ola Marvin Leier (@OlaMarvin) May 18 , 2012The Internet was built by users for users.
LocalUncle's automatic place detection feature is proprietary tech built by the app makers to improve the user experience — meaning that place names appear automatically as you pan around the map.
A graphical user interface was built by the object-oriented programming language IDL to visualize and process the data and to draw VOIs around each FG object.
The motherboard was built by Apple, but the user had to provide the keyboard, casing, power supply and monitor.
The algorithms in this feature, built by our user relevance team, suggest people you don't currently follow that you may find interesting.
In both cases, the data set built by or for the user delivers greater value with increased usage, something that won't directly be available on a competing platform.
Instead, the behavior graph is built by tracking users' on-site activity, which can include virtually anything a publisher wants to track, like clicking a link, reading an article, commenting, liking, replying to another comment, or sharing, for example.
The marxrsp tool is optionally installed as part building MARX, and is dependent on the CFITSIO libraries, and not typically built by most users.
But as is often the case with many services, the best tools are often not built by platform creators — they're built by power-users and companies that find niches within the service that need addressing.
