One-click shopping


It’s going to be here. La-z-boy chairs, la-z clicks (except in China, you have to click to Google Hong Kong. Gee, that’s a lot of work!).

Google is coming out with Google Editions, both online and via Independent Agents.

At the end of the piece, we found the interviewer hinted at Google music (with YouTube and Google Editions, all we need is Googlic to complete the Content Trinity). Monty Python would be asked: what’s your favorite movie: Google. What’s your favorite music: Google. What’s your favorite book: Google.

I can flash forward to my interior decor motif: minimalism. No book-case, no CD case, no DVD case. Just a computer and a La-z-boy chair.

Me and my Web shadow.

Google will organize my information (its motto: organize the world’s information – mine included).

Can’t wait for another source of recommendation. So far, it’s been Amazon recommends this, Amazon recommends that (my book purchases have been memorized in its Elastic cloud servers).

Bezos said in an interview that his favorite book was The Remains of the Day. Perhaps Eric Schmidt can now say his is Strength in What remains.

He will need one or two Red Bulls before organizing music in this post-Napster world. Between Napster and Skype, we already saw the decline of two sectors (recording and telco).  Besides, Facebook friends seemed to already get a head start in recommending music online to friends of friends (Yesterday, a facebook friend sent a clip of  Tuesday’s Gone. Made my day!).

With book and video recommendation, a whole day’s gone. Some sites would rather see our life’s gone (CLV) through one-click shopping. Can you guess its name?
