It seems that closed systems are increasingly not as viable as more open varieties. Interesting, the Cluetrain Manifesto predicted this model in 2001.
Are there closed models that are working, except in security related markets?

Your post is a bit confusing. You're referring to two kinds of open:
Facebook's flavor of open - allowing people to build within the walled garden. This is what Fred Wilson's complaining about.
Portable Social Networks - This is allowing the user to control their social network information and be able to pull it into whatever application they want. http://microformats.org/wiki/social-network-por...
