Review services getting consolidated

I anticipate Google to swallow Review Services market using G+. I hate the idea of somebody having total control on everything, but when I buy a product (any product), I see number of variations from different producers. I want to read some reviews, to see some ratings on products and their producers before picking one. That’s natural. Where to get those? On the site of producer/seller? Oh, please! I would rather not trust them entirely. Well, I could try to search on www.consumersearch.com or try www.epinions.com, though I would hardly find many of the products sold in Germany and the reviews by the locals. I’ll tell you what, I’m going to end up extracting reviews on public forums and likely giving up after hours spent in vain. However, I can use Google Products (www.google.com/products) and find everything in the place. I may even make a photo of the product right on the shelf of the store and try googling by the picture.

But in real life it’s not all so nice.

Has it ever occurred to you to fancy about all Facebook applications are simple and similar per se? All of these virtual hugs, gifts, greeting cards, wishes, likenesses, poke, smiles, karma-exchange and other psychological “stroking” differ only with the form, in which user get their portion of attention. Thus this niche is always open for persons interested to test their own ideas. Facebook applications enroll the audience in the way viral marketing works. Users invite their friends to use the application, those friends invite new user the same way. You see, if you have a worth idea, theoretically you can obtain the audience which works out at 20 millions of Facebook users. So there is nothing surprising in that some amateur Facebook applications are sold for tens of thousand dollars.
