What worries me is that each example they offer is some way to advertise goods and services. I don't need yet another avenue for this kind of crap to be pushed out to me.
- TeMPOraL 12y agoYup. This concept has so much potential, and yet half of the companies included are, well... crap. Useless. Give us the API, Google. I'll happily write a Hacker News integration (as someone will most likely beat me to Github one).
- jellicle 12y agoGoogle knows that what you really need Now are coupons for laundry detergent in aisle 5 (when you're in aisle 4 you get cookie coupons), and an ad for a pet-washing service on rainy, muddy days. Ads for taxi services showing up 120 minutes before your flight? There's no limit to what you need Now! The future is awesome!
- dannyr 12y agoIt's up to you. If the app is spammy, uninstall it.
