I can see how this would seem compelling to a 22-year-old Google employee of the sort that gave us Google Glass and Google Plus, but was there any research done that this was a thing that normal people would want?
- mason55 7y agoIf you make it attractive enough I can see people doing it. Use synergy/vertical integration/economies of scale to give people discounts and make their lives more convenient and they'll be willing to give up a lot in terms of things like privacy. In my opinion the real risk would be the antitrust regulators.
- foobiekr 7y agoIt kind of describes the Google extended-university-experience thing though. Google employees live in a social ecosystem; you don’t just do Yoga, you do Google Yoga. And so on. Some subset of people find this gross and creepy but it’s something a lot of young people demonstrably go for.
