In IT, a platform is any hardware or software used to host an application or service. An application platform, for example, consists of hardware, an operating system and coordinating programs that use the instruction set for a particular processor or microprocessor. In this case, the platform creates a foundation that ensures object code will execute successfully.
This is followed by a good, more concise definition: The key term in the definition of platform is 'programmed'. If you can program it, then it's a platform. If you can't, then it's not. Marc then gets into detail by breaking platforms down into three fundamental approaches or levels: Level 1: Access API A Level 1 platform's apps run elsewhere, and call into the platform via a web services API to draw on data and services -- this is how Flickr Track this API does it. The vast marjority, but not all, of the 515 APIs listed on ProgrammableWeb fall into this category.
