Es verdad que muchas han salido mal, pero las han inventado.
Yo miro lo que usan mis hijos. Ya no usan Facebook, pero en el instituto usan Classroom y para trabajar los documentos, directamente con Drive y el paquete de office de Google. No contemplan otra forma de trabajar el material de clase.

Sí, es evidente que el I+D tiene esas cosas, aciertas con uno y fallas 10. A veces te sale incluso más barato comprar algo hecho que ya tiene su tracción positiva, aunque parezca caro, ejemplo YouTube, Whatsapp, LinkedIn.
El comentario de José Antonio Del Moral es que Amazon acertaba más que Google en este proceso, digamos que la innovación está mejor dirigida.

La gran ventaja que le veo a Google está en la capacidad de captar datos de TODA la gente.
Se habla de usuarios activos de Facebook pero, ¿cuánta gente usa Google o alguno de sus productos a diario? Eso sin contar el chip de rastreo/espionaje que nos han colocado a todos en el bolsillo en forma de smartphone.
Ahí es donde está el potencial de San Google

Sobre Alphabet, podríamos pensar que ya se les han terminado las buenas ideas:
- 2003 lanzan Blogger
- 2004 presentan Gmail
- 2005 Google Earth
- 2006 compran Youtube
- 2007 Android
- 2008 Chrome
Y desde entonces nada remarcable… pero echemos un vistazo a las adquisiciones a partir de esa fecha:

De brazos cruzados no están desde luego. Se están centrando en reforzar aquello en lo que ya son buenos: Android, Mapas, Cloud, Inteligencia artificial…
Parece que no están dispuestos a perder terreno en aquello que ya son líderes, y sobretodo van a luchar por liderar la tecnología que la tecnología que lo va a cambiar todo: la inteligencia artificial.
El cloud y la inteligencia artificial parece un pastel gigantescamente más grande que ninguna web o servicio que pudieran sacar, yo desde luego prefiero que se centren en eso. Amazon, Microsoft y Alphabet se van a repartir el mundo.

¿Todos esos que han vendido y no han tenido suficiente ambición para llegar a dominar el mercado son europeos?

La pasada semana vino a mi universidad de Praga, el profesor Itzhak Swary (Israelí). Nos dio una charla breve sobre como se debería evaluar una Startup y los errores comunes que existen hoy en día. Paso el ppt por aquí, interesante para mí.
