All the talk about standalone GPS/navigation companies going away... I say there are a lot of creative ppl at those companies and they will find great products to sell. Their creativity is now freed from need to preserve existing revenue streams.

They can use that line when they do layoffs: "Your creativity has now been freed from the need to preserve your salary here" :)

With expensive roaming data plans, a standalone gps is still cheaper. Unless Google implements pre-caching of routes on google map/navigation.
- Peng-Toh
Sanjeev, that is sometimes the way it works: everyone who ever said "best thing that ever happened to me was to quit or get fired." Peng-Toh, for people who roam that is a good argument. Not sure how many such folks exist.
- Daniel Dulitz
Data roaming is VERY expensive. If you going on a vacation in foreign land, it'll be far cheaper to buy a Garmin map. Or do without GPS. Or rent a car that comes with GPS.
- Peng-Toh
Or buy a prepaid SIM card for data roaming. Or find a wifi access point to get the directions. But anyway, GPS/nav companies will not stay in business selling gadgets to people who would otherwise use data roaming. They will stay in business because they'll remake their business.
- Daniel Dulitz
Disruption does have a cost. Plans are scuttled, investment is wasted. Garmin's headquarters are in Olathe, Kansas -- if the company can't make it, employees may have trouble finding similar employment nearby, and families may suffer. The eulogies are premature in any case -- but what would you do if you were in charge of Garmin, Daniel?
- ⓞnor
Perhaps I should have gotten a prepaid SIM card with data while I was in London for a month. My voice calls cost me US$2.20/minute. Ouch! I don't even want to know what the $/kb roaming rates are. But I made do without data access since I didn't drive there. Otherwise, I would have picked up a Garmin map instead.
- Peng-Toh
If I was Garmin, I'd build a unit that cached all of Google maps over wifi or on a cable.
- Piaw Na
I bet the map images are less important than the routing info.
- Andrew C
from Android
And Google's routing algorithm still sucks if you're a cyclist. Garmin will continue to dominate the outdoor space.
- Piaw Na
Isn't that way, way smaller than the car gps market?
- Andrew C
from Android
Yes. From Garmin's 2008 annual report (the latest available), they made $323 million in aviation, $204 million in marine, $428 million in "outdoor and fitness", and $2.54 *billion* in automotive. Good news for Garmin: they will continue to dominate the industry that represents less than 15% of their current revenue.
- ⓞnor
Caching google's images would violate copyright? It is possible on a jailbroken iphone.
- Peng-Toh
Garmin will have to innovate in the car gps market as opposed to milking a cash cow. For example, voice plus HUD would be nice. So is a faster locking GPS plus faster updates. My PerformanceBox locks in a few seconds and updates 10 times a second.
- Peng-Toh
ⓞnor, I would focus on avionics, marine, ruggedized and water-resistant consumer units that can take lots of abuse, low-power units, emergency beacons to put in your trunk or your kid's lunchbox, inertial sensors to deal with dropouts, WAAS in every unit. Personal avalanche kits for skiers. Large screens with specially-designed antennas for maximum coverage/reliability. Devices to track...

- Daniel Dulitz
Yeah, but that 50% profit margin from selling maps? That's going to go away no matter what. They will never be as profitable as when they could sell you a piece of plastic (or a chip) for $100+. And worse, charge you again for the same data whenever you upgraded to a new device. They lost a lot of customer goodwill with that move.
- Piaw Na
I use OnStar in my Buick, IMO far better than GPS for routing wiith road side assistance and talk to a real person for things like restaurant suggestions.
- WarLord
Maps? I never buy maps. There's enough good free maps :)
- Peng-Toh
ⓞnor, I don't know what you're talking about. Navigating by train and bus is a huge, huge market -- I don't know anyone who uses a car.

PT, you've obviously never tried to find all the small roads that get you from one place to another in Europe. Michelin maps rule!
- Piaw Na
I think expectations get confused. An income of $323M + $204M + $428M would be considered very successful by some standards, so it's not like the whole company will vanish when they're still pulling in over a billion annually. Any business will eventually find that some sectors become less profitable. The newspaper industry, for example, can still make quite a bit of money, even if it...

Wondering whether discovery engines like Twitter will result in users searching less and less.. So for example if I already know from reading my twitter stream that iPhones are better than Palm Pre would I bother to go search for "cell phones" on google before buying one.
Jess Lee and Ahsan Ali aka. Slick liked this
Is that really how you evaluated cell phones in the past? (by searching for "cell phones"?)
- Paul Buchheit
Well I definitely would do research on Google... Now I don't. Another example - I recently ordered business cards. Normally I would search for "business cards" on Google, find a site that looks decent and order some. Now thanks to my newsfeed and such... I went directly to "moo cards"
- Bindu Reddy
I would use google to research about a particular model (or range) of a Nokia, for example.
- Ahsan Ali aka. Slick
I think that depends on who you're following. From my faboomama account, I wouldn't take cellphone info from anyone, only because I work in the telecom industry and have different standards and knowledge of what's going on. From our biz account, that a different story.
- Anika
And then again, people seem to rush after the bright and shiny, provide it's made by Apple. There's a bias, a lot of ignorance and too much me-tooism to take anyone's opinion seriously in regards to 'tech'. This based on who I'm following on my faboomama account. Most people I follow on Twitter are political activists, but they lean left. Even still, before I RT, I do my research, because there's a bias.

I don't really see Twitter as much different than advertising. TV/Radio/print were the authorities of the past who brought new "info" to you, but if you are a smart consumer you take that info, and research before you buy. If not, you buy strictly based on the "ad". Now, sources you follow (or who retweet other RSS sources) "advertise" links to you. The situation is the same, either you...

I'm not sure what the answer is. It's true that LSW definitely has a presence here, and I'm sure that's why some people are here. Others might have come because they knew people who were already here. A few prominent library bloggers have feeds here, so that could attract some, as well. Tech and social media is part of some librarians' jobs, so they might have originally checked it out for those reasons. The reasons probably differ for all of us.

I still don't have a pic on LinkedIn. Tina, I'm no photographer, but I bet if you had a little fill light you could de-emphasize the bags under the eyes. (I notice this with myself, because I am incredibly vain. And have giant bags under my eyes, even if I have enough sleep, etc etc)
- Andrew C
I'd say raise up your chin a tad, sit up straight, and place the camera on a pile of books with a liht source- lamp, etc. eye level and off to the side. It would lessen the bags and make it a little less MySpacey, also think of something funny and don't worry about averting your eyes. This is really done best by someone else- it's *so hard* to take a good self-portrait.
- anna sauce
OT, but how come FB doesn't have a portrait "style" like Myspace does?
- Andrew C
Andrew- it does, it's called "me and my kids" or "just my kids" or "me in foriegn country" or "me with a girl/boy cut out because we broke up" lol
- anna sauce
The picture I use practically everywhere is from my brother's wedding reception. I cropped out the Black and Tan beer I was drinking. That wouldn't be very professional. ;-)

Wow, that's uncanny. You and I share no friends on FB AFAIK and yet you just described most of them.

Just to clarify: this isn't one of my profile photo attempts. This is a cell pic taken with no light other than what's coming in a dirty window. Sad part is I wound up looking way less douchey in this than in my the actual attempts =P I think the profile photo will be tomorrow morning's challenge: take advantage of the morning light since I won't have to be at a farce of a job interview.

Robert, I have no problem with you not liking FriendFeed as a service or not getting anything out of it anymore. You had valid points about forums. What bothered me was the language and the tone of your initial post and screenshot that singled out and attacked the people of FriendFeed. You don't have to like the service or find it interesting but there are more respectful ways to communicate that...ways that don't personally offend the rest of the users and cause them to get defensive and angry.
