I don't think there will be "a lot of new SMS services headed our way." The real value to the user for Magic is that you can use it for everything. Pizza one day, flight reservations the next. You don't need to google multiple numbers for things.
And if there were multiple SMS services for pizza ordering or flight reservations or whatever, then Magic would just subcontract out to those smaller services, and people would still just use Magic.
- adventured 12y agoMagic isn't going to exist in a year, so that's a non-premise. They're going to drown and the temporary hype will go away (needed to support the volume, which will fall out from under their service just about the time they're trying to raise serious capital), long before they can scale up and deliver on the premise. Someone else will make a lot of money off of a service like this, but it is not going to be Magic.
- aqme28 12y agoWhy is this service not sustainable within a year? Seems like a totally valid business to me. edit: Next year, one of us is going to be laughing.
- nugget 12y agoKeep in mind that sometimes the less you do, the better you do it. "Doing everything" sounds great but often just means the execution of various "things" suffers. Whereas Seamless for example just focuses on food and can no doubt provide better service there.
