Here‘s a story at Top News about Google’s plans to get up in Amazon’s grill and offer a sales and search platform to eBook authors, publishers and stores.
I’m cool with it. Competition is good for business. My only concern is we’re really talking about an online marketplace for digital books, aren’t we? It worries me when a mammoth corporation like GOOGLE starts making up names for things that are shared by all. It’s rather presumptuous and denotes ‘ownership.’ This one’s got focus-group all over it too. Ecosystem is a green-friendly and touchy feely name. I can just see the silly buggers passing that one around the boardroom. Gag! Google should know better, yah?
