Amazon, Apple, Google markets

Olivier pointed out an article on twitter this morning: Five lessons Apple can learn from Amazon. I have the feeling that the article is missing entirely the point, because Amazon and Apple are not playing in the same markets:

C’était l’occasion de se laisser impregner jusqu’à en perdre control de toutes sortes d’informations, de gens, de la culture même du web et de créer des contacts intéressant avec des personnes inspirantes. Pour l’occasion, j’ai eu la chance interviewer Michael Dunn, wikimedia, à propos de la vidéo utilisant le codec html5.

    Where is the (Web Site) Kitchen?

    Imagine, you are working for an architecture agency. A client comes and says I need a new restaurant. The interview process is starting. Understanding the branding, the needs of the clients, the type of food, the capacity, etc. A few kpis (Key performance indicators) are defined. And then the conceptual work will start, hopefully the content (the menu) is available.

    The project is quite advanced, the blueprints have been created and we are almost ready to start working on building…
