One advantage Google has over TV and print is that it knows a lot about its users (mail, phone, text messages, files, searches, location, pictures, videos etc.). It can use that information to provide better target segmentation for ads. TV and print can only indirectly target audience - by producing content that they think appeals to certain demographics (Google can do that, too). This is the reason why I think Google's biggest enemy isn't Microsoft or Apple, it's Facebook - they get a lot more data from a whole lot of people practically free; Google has to scrape and assemble this data from all its different services, like in a puzzle. That's why it's so baffling to me that Google doesn't seem to do anything in social networking, except for violating user privacy on a Facebook-level (Google Buzz). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
