Unless they're going to leverage their monopoly in Search or Android to get into this business, Nextdoor doesn't have anything to worry about. Google doesn't have a history of releasing products that succeed organically.
And they probably will, but that's why the EU's antitrust cases against Google are so important!
- reaperducer 8y ago> Nextdoor doesn't have anything to worry about Also, a good part of Nextdoor's growth is due to real-world hands-on activity. Things like actual people being rewarded for handing actual neighbors flyers. Nextdoor will even send its members postcards to get their neighbors on board. Again -- physical objects. Google doesn't do physical. If a problem can't be done remotely through machine learning, it's not worth doing.
- icebraining 8y agoDoes Nextdoor have employees delivering those rewards for the flyers? If not, I don't see what's so different. Sending a postcard is just calling a different API.
