We’ve all been waiting for Superapps to emerge in West, following Asian superapps like WeChat, Meituan, Grab, Paytm, GoJek. But we’ve been ignoring the biggest Superapp we’ve had & using all along for years now: Google Maps. It is & will become the biggest app of our lives.
I am betting that Resy’s mystery buyer is Google, just a guess, no insider knowledge, to be subsumed with integration into Google Maps. recode.net/2019/3/7/18254…
Local discovery is now completely dominated by Google Maps, as we said in our Skift Megatrends 2019. The next phase is moving beyond discovery, to adding booking, buying, communicating, community, and lots more. It has already started. table.skift.com/2019/01/29/res…
It has already added messaging into Google Maps: theverge.com/2018/11/14/180…
The integration of Google Calendar, your travel bookings (hotels, Airbnb etc) and other Google serviced into Google Maps has already happened, in ways big or subtle.
Lastly these are all the integrations Google Maps already has with dining, activities, beauty and fitness services, the Superapp of West is Google Maps. google.com/maps/reserve/p…
