The content of Social Mobile Analytics Cloud was merged into Third platform. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists. For the discussion at that location, see its talk page.

This page is such a cludgy collection of opinion, unsubstantiated facts and nonsense.

Firstly the third platform is a confusing mix of infrastructure (cloud), interface or UI (mobile), platform (cloud and mobile) and usage (social). Compared to the first platform (mainframe) and second platform (client server) which are clearly technogy stacks. No usage or UI areentiined in these earlier descriptions.

Secondly there are numerous unsubstantiated and incomplete statements. For example big data is mentioned as being petabytes. This is not a requirement as to big data volumes.

Thirdly the third platform fails to acknowledge other technology stacks such as edge computing. Latency and connectivity are significant constraints and enablers for the adoption ofany distributed computing technologies.

The term third platform has also been coined by one commercial entity. There is mention of enterprise architecture but no reference to any other usage of this term.

I suggest this topic be updated to include supporting references or noted as not being in common use. If anyone wants to debate my recommendations then lets use references to decide which page changes to incorporate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Leftbrainstuff (talk • contribs) 18:46, 16 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
