Is it just me or is Amazon launching new services at an exponentially faster clip these days? In my mind, they're really starting to separate themselves from the other tech powerhouses in terms of integrated innovation.

- jflowers45 12y agoI sort of had the same feeling ... esp since they JUST released Zocalo on the enterprise side of things
- deancognation 12y agoyeh but does anyone here think Zocalo is going to go anywhere?
- Someone1234 12y agoIt COULD but they're entering a very competitive space. Profits are almost non-existent thanks to Microsoft and Google's race to the bottom. I don't feel like Amazon did a good job selling their USP. I still don't know why I should buy it over the alternatives...
- ghobs91 12y agoReminds me of the Yahoo of the early 00's that wanted to be everything for everyone. If you think about it, the two companies with the largest amounts of credit card #s on file would likely be Amazon, for obvious reasons, and Apple, because of iTunes. Because using their payment platforms wouldn't involve the friction of having to add that info, those two stand to gain traction very quickly if they enter the space. Apple is rumored to be working on this, and so it's a no brainer for Amazon to do the same. My guess is that Amazon is waiting to see whether iBeacon or NFC end up winning before adding payments to the app.
