summary
Argues that competing head-on with a dominant search player often fails and companies should exploit real assets instead of being a me-too, citing PayPal as a payment subsystem and Facebook Connect for identity as examples. Points to Apple’s iPhone/App Store as a successful outflank, notes Bing’s imaging and user-data map layering experiments, warns that location is a cloud lookup where data flows to third parties and can enable stalking, and urges alliances or clear value-for-user tradeoffs.
