- redthrowaway 15y agoOutside of possibly Amazon-Google, I don't see anyone joining up. Google hates Facebook, Apple hates Google, neither has integrated facebook into their mobile OS, and everyone seems content to ignore Amazon. We'll see how that changes with the introduction of the Fire, but I can't see facebook moving beyond their niche, and there's too much direct competition between Apple-Google and Apple-Amazon to allow for a partnership between anyone other than Google and Amazon.
- Apocryphon 15y agoI think more interesting is what outside major players will jump in. Facebook and Microsoft have some good ties.
