- now I know why they wanted to buy Yelp
- the three big issues of twitter - noise, spam, and who to follow may be solved
- I wonder if it overcomes the problem of FB - one way follows - you want to follow someone you've never sent an email
- jraines 17y agoThe "follow" model is the most broken of Google's social stuff. Most of the people I have sent or received email from are not people I want social updates from.
- adrianwaj 17y agointeresting - also business interactions take place over email and not worth a follow. I guess any non-business, frequent interaction email buddy could be worth a follow: but it should be opt in. Google is a fast follower now, I think. Had they planned this instead of buying Jaiku, it would've taken the DM appeal out of FB and Twitter, and slowed their growth.
- jlees 17y agoAgreed in a social context; in a business context, though, short status updates from the people I email most (and higher ups) are very very useful...
