There's good potential here for accurate price discrimination. If Google collects and passes on user data (especially now that there's G+), they'll know a banker can probably pay more for a hotel than a student.
I'm not sure if they'll put this into practice, but this sure gives them the ability to.
- hugh3 15y agoThus creating a world where everybody struggles to look as poor as possible to Google's algorithms in the hopes of getting a good price? I'll just google "how do i gets my babby daddy to give me his welfare check" ten times a day, and use a separate account when it comes time to research private yachts. Cha-ching!
- abraham 15y agoWhy would Google do this? There is no way it would not be discovered leading to a lot of ill will and little gain for Google. Plus I know of no current Google marketplace where they adjust cost based on user information.
