Inthis article, we initiate discussions about the under studied aspect of platform design – how to designplatforms that maximize the satisfaction of various stakeholders. We also contribute a novel taxonomy forplatform ecosystems that categorizes existing and emerging platforms. Finally, we discuss the need forinteroperability between these platforms so that workers and requesters are not tied to a single platform..
