Amazon succeeds by being data driven.
http://ShopIn.com http://ShopIn.com is working to move buyer personas out of data silos by decentralize purchasing history onto a federated blockchain.
Decentralizing purchasing data should let individual brands compete more equally.
It's an ambitious project but should it take off it will provide real world data to make smaller brands more competitive.
- yeukhon 9y agoI am not really sure how this is decentralized. Users still depend on your service to be operational in order, no? Then that is not decentralized. Is it the data really decentralizrd then? The infrastructure piece doesn’t seem to be, which makes decentralization existence questionable since, unless the data can be used else where, the data itself is useless. Also when you say data is completely owned by thr user, how are you able to recommend? How do you help your engine to improved? In the end you do need the data. Spotify trains their customer dataset annoymously, which most companies do when they are doing training. So I don’t how this project is any more putting user in control. It’s very vague to me - are you suggesting privacy is honored? That’s what “user is in control” means - I can either share or not share, but what value do you get then?
