I don't think these big platforms will ever be dislodged exactly, just made irrelevant. Photo sharing used to be difficult enough that it could act as the basis for an entire product category. Now it has been commoditized sufficiently that it can be just added to any product with relative ease. Maybe one day it will be possible to add Google style search technology to any product with ease. At that point the opportunity is to have specialist search as an add-on to other products.
- vlehto 11y agoI'm trying to imagine here what it would take to beat Google in it's own game. The most frustrating searches I've had with google are always about some thing I have seen before, but can't find again. It would be relatively easy to optimize for this if you can have some kind of bookmark app and search history available. So that search would prioritize stuff I have bookmarked or found previously. It would be probably be valuable for the search engine to know what products I have bookmarked. The catch here is that I'm not going to trust google with that data. So essentially delicious with very powerful search as by product.
