Today if you ask Siri, "Siri, I want to eat a Pizza" most probably it would say. "Here are the near by restaurants that serve pizza arranged by their popularity" .
Now how about an app that says "You friend Iris had a Chese burst pizza at Pizza Hut in 6th block recently and liked it very much and it is just 2 miles away, should we go?"
How did it say that, well it knows my contacts on Facebook,Twitter, Google plus and list of other social networking sites, Parses thru their updates about pizza, understands the sentiments of the update, gets the location w.r.t your present locations and gives you one final definite answer. Isn't this Magical.
Now who can do this? Obviously Google. They already do this in parts, search for some thing on Google, if you are on Google plus and have your profile created and linked it with other social networking sites, chances are that you see some thing similar like this.(I searched for Apple India)
Added to this, understanding the sentiment of the update is critical, already there a lot of social analytics apps doing this. I think it is a matter of time before Google puts all this together.
At one point of time Bing was positioned as decision engine rather than search engine. That din't help it much any way. So I guess this kind of definitive answers is soon what people will start looking for and after all Google and Apple with thier evil plans knows how to get this done.
Well one can argue this is incremental innovation on Apple's Siri, ofcourse it is. But still requires a lot of effort to put all together.
