This week Google has launched it's latest venture 'Google Wallet'. The app that makes your phone your wallet.
Checkout the promo video giving further details on the launch and the Google Wallet service:
Google has been testing this product extensively since May, but currently only select
users will be able to use Google Wallet to make payments. At the moment Google’s product has only
one compatible device (The Nexus S 45) and one credit card that
connects with the app (Citi MasterCard).
So if you're not running on the above at the moment, then, Google has said that they would be making a Google
prepaid card available for use with Google Wallet. Users can fill this
card by using any other standard credit card. According to the Google Blog post
announcing the launch, “Visa, Discover and American Express have made
available their NFC specifications that could enable their cards to be
added to future versions of Google Wallet.”
I have concerns for security, battery outage and privacy / hacking issues, but hey there's still credit card fraud and tricksters now, so whether you pay by phone or payment card there are still risks either way.
Let's see how well the launch goes.
Ever wondered why you're not reaching the dizzy heights of the first page of Google?
You can develop the most stunning and attractive business website of all your competitors. You
can employ the best usability experts, professional photographers and web developers money can buy. However, if you're business isn’t on the first or second page of
Google, then really you may as well go into hiding!
Unfortunately, consumers and business peoples attention span is zero these days. Expectancy is for immediate, quick and relevant results. If people can't get what they want within a few minutes of looking, mainly because we're too busy or lazy to keep going, they simply go elsewhere. It's not that search engine users don't value what your website has to offer, it's just that if you're not on the first or second page of Google, then users can't be bothered to delve any deeper.
