A great comment, thanks for your perspective...Erik<br /><br />A great comment, thanks for your perspective.<br /><br />Yes, Google Wave was a failure and eventually pulled, not IMHO because it didn’t have the Wow factor…. but because it was an application in search of a demand (not the other way around, where as we know “necessity is the mother of invention”).<br /><br />I wasn’t aware of the mobile application, so thanks for that, I have already loaded it up. (But since I am still waiting for my account to be activated I can’t use it yet and will report on its usage when I do get access.)<br /><br />However, I really can’t disagree with you more on the combination of social media and eCommerce. Shopping is a social activity and social commerce in all its flavours is the ideal combination of online sharing and electronic transactions. <br /><br />How this is then done is where the creativity needs to be inventive and where Google Plus can hopefully created ubiquity.Hayden Sutherlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05856244651310633376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1193110888000243108.post-89945603033117281562011-07-04T21:58:05.849+01:002011-07-04T21:58:05.849+01:00B.'s wrong and so are you (in my opinion).
Th...B.'s wrong and so are you (in my opinion).<br /><br />The Google Wave Wow Factor was huge, nevertheless GW was a failure. Wow-factor without added value for users is a recipe for small disasters.<br /><br />Mobile? There's a native Android app, an iPhone app and other iOS apps are announced. And there is m.google.com/plus. For starters.<br /><br />Payment? Commerce? I thought we were talking social media here. Something else than e-commerce. <br /><br />We'll see how things turn out in the long run, but in the meantime I'd say this is an also-blog.Eriknoreply@blogger.com
