It's more than that. Google is interested in the movement of goods and services and how they can make those transactions more efficient. Google can umbrella commerce in general and just take a small google tax. It's like amazon's end game, except a lot more lightweight and uninvested.
- alariccole 13y agoVery good point. The movement of goods, services, and people as well.
- psbp 13y agoYep, it's immediately what I thought of when we saw the Google Glass Field trip app released earlier this week. Google could offer an invaluable service to businesses and consumers alike if they could orchestrate the relationship between the two.

- erichurkman 13y agoHm. Piggy back Google Shopping on Uber? Why have two separate sets of people driving around a city when you can have one?

- 001sky 13y agoGoogle is interested in the movement of goods and services Quite a bit beyond "organizing the worlds information"[!]
- samstave 13y agoNot if you think of both people, their locations, their movements and their desires as information. However, with Uber, as far as I know, all drivers own their own vehicles. They just subcontract to Uber. Further, there is a massive black market for drugs and prostitution in every city and every Black Limo market, SF Uber being no exception. I wonder where this will wind up....
- jacobwcarlson 13y agoI'd argue those are the same thing.
- engrenage 13y ago'Organizing the worlds's information' is code for 'Controlling all business'.
