Is Google Concerned About Amazon Eating Their Lunch?
- stickhandle 14y agoAmazon is in a special position - in terms of accuracy, they know w-a-y more about their users than Google does about theirs. There is great value in knowing what people search for and what they are reading ... but any single person's interest on this level is pretty broad. It can be a good approximation for what they are interested in purchasing, but not nearly as good as what they ARE actually purchasing.
- andybak 14y agoHow come they are doing so little with that data currently? One example - Kindle and Amazon recommendations are terrible and offer no ability for me to drill down. I just get a mish-mash of items vaguely related to previous purchases (many of which were gifts and no longer of any interest to me). I was really expecting laser-sharp targeting from the on-device Kindle Store.
