What I am waiting for is a good shopping experience hosted by Google. Can for the life of my not understand why did still haven't done this because it would solve so many of their problems wrt ads and purchasing.
- tantalor 10y agoWhat? There's a big "shopping" tab at the top of every search results page.
- nerdponx 10y agoBut do you use it? Probably not. Is it usable, are the results good? Nope. Is it a good user experience? Not the few times I've tried it.
- dazc 10y agoAmazon have too far a head start on that one but it is ironic that google seem to be able to crawl and index amazon better than amazon can do internally.
- zabouti 10y agoIt has seemed to me for quite some time that Amazon deliberately tries NOT to return what you are searching for. Oh, they'll give you one or two items that fit your search criteria, but they'll also return lots of stuff that they think you'll be interested in and possibly buy.
- beejiu 10y agoI do not think this would be allowed within the European Union.
- WorldMaker 10y agoGoogle had one years ago, Google Checkout [1]. It was a PayPal competitor that was built to also provide a good API for running shopping cart experiences. Another on the list of good products that Google built, ran until they got bored with it, then closed. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Checkout https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Checkout
