Google The Next Facebook & Apple

blog this!
Okay, come on ideathinker that is the worst linkbait attempt ever; why
would Google be the next anything, and even throwing in the apples and
the bookers there for good measure!

Bare with me for a second and I'll explain, but first let me comment
on my heading: Yes, I agree, but it's ment to be funny as I grown
tired of all those "the next whatever" a long time ago (but that's for
another post)...

Now let me get to the apple and facebook and maybe you'll see what I mean.

What's apple known for (except the hardware)?
A great user experience (UX), and a tightly integrated echosystem.

What is Facebook Known For?
Beeing a defacto platform for connecting and sharing your life with
friends, also in a restrictive but unison design.

So now what is google doing?
They are implementing various design changes across their services all
to give the user a more integrated experience.

They just launched their attempt at social networking called google+,
but I think this goes beyond social. It's an indication on which
direction their heading in and how they see the future.

I think google is creating a platform independent platform for what
most people do with their devices in their daily life: Connecting,
sharing, and cosuming.

And it will look and feel almost the same wheter you're on windows,
windows mobile, os x, android, firefox, or chrome...

So you see I feel my heading was not that unjust.
