> The switching cost for search is essentially zero.

Those of us who remember when Google first appeared and revolutionized search can testify to that.

There was fitness tracker that posted locations without user names.

Well, wouldn't you know, in Iraq there were all these square paths on the map. Yes, it was Americans jogging just inside the perimeter of small bases.
