For this to become true, agents first have to transcend 'chatbot' as the primary interaction layer.
There's a reason we're still using apps instead of talking to Siri…for a huge number of tasks, visual UIs are so much more efficient than long-form text.
Chrome bookmarks also show up as items in the Bookmarks menu, which means you can use the built-in macOS functionality to assign your own custom keyboard shortcuts in System Preferences → Keyboard.
> Consistent with the ACM’s order, dating apps that are granted an entitlement to link out or use a third-party in-app payment provider will pay Apple a commission on transactions.
The other difference is that Google Maps has to build everything into the app directly. The privacy label for Apple Maps gets a 'free ride' on so many things by virtue of piggybacking on OS-level functionality.
Same thing applies to Messages vs. WhatsApp/Messenger and bunch of others.
Genius move for Twilio, honestly. Segment can supply the central hub to tie in all channel spokes Twilio already powers (especially after the SendGrid acquisition from a couple years ago).
I can't help thinking Segment had much more room to run though...everyone I know who uses them loves them, and they were still only just scratching the surface of the addressable market.
> I am really surprised that big publishers are not bothered by this fact as much as I am.
I suspect they are just as bothered, but don't really have a choice about this either. Placement on the search results page is so valuable that Google holds a really big stick when introducing new 'standards' like this.
Just look how little of a typical mobile SERP is real 'organic' content now: http://imgur.com/UhNZvL2
This will be very helpful for anyone with an app who wants to break their users out of Google's AMP viewer.
Using Universal Links for it is helpful — other AMP banners I've seen so far (Reuters, etc [1]) just redirect users to the App Store even when the app is installed...a little bit frustrating.
For small teams, this can definitely be true. At least in the beginning.
For better or worse, the native app UX advantage still pays off massively in real dollars. And with walled gardens like Facebook and Google AMP growing so quickly, building a native app of your own is often the best chance to capture an audience.
