Google Payment Service: GBuy
 

Google Payment Service: GBuy

"Very curious to know what people think and if they are willing to try the new service when it becomes available.

PayPal must now contend with Google. The Mountain View, Calif., Web-search giant, which has terrified Silicon Valley with its ability to quickly create new consumer products and services, is developing a rival service called GBuy. For the last nine months, Google has recruited online retailers to test GBuy, according to one person briefed on the service. GBuy will feature an icon posted alongside the paid-search ads of merchants, which Google hopes will tempt consumers to click on the ads, says this person. GBuy will also let consumers store their credit-card information on Google.

Google said that it has acknowledged publicly on many occasions that it is working on payment products. The company also said it already processes online payments for ad services, as well as fees from consumers who use features such as Google Store and Google Earth. It declined to comment on any pending products."

interesting

Lets hope they don't allow adult.

It will at the very least make paypal improve their customer service

would be nice if they accept adult.

so far i'm impressed with all that google has put out, so this should be good

can't wait for this to roll out, should be good stuff...

another great stuff from google

I don't think anything they have put out besides search is "great". Gmail is buggy, their local search blows, their video search is failing, froogle sucks, no one has their bug ridden desktop search running, and Google talk is the worse messanger service on the market.

Gbuy. Wow, that name is a surprise :upsidedow

Lil hating on them aint ya.
Gmail is rarely if ever buggy and is more likely than not the best email service out there specially for free.
Google talk is actually pretty nice, specially with the new added history feature.

i hope paypal has to shut it's doors.

completely agreed. the only cool peripheral product/service they have released is Google Earth. they are also monetizing it by letting networks like CNN use it on the news. but it's obvious they really need to stay within their own core competence: indexing the world's information and making it easy to access for everyone plus montizing it.

Goog is the perfect example of a company with more money than ideas. you can hire all the PhDs in the world, but that won't produce the next 'killer app'.

hopefully another great google product, i know gmail and google maps were amazing.

way to go mr Google! taking the net world, one search at a time :)

competition brings out the best of them. and consumers will feel good bout it

Gbuy?! Paypal days will soon be over...

more like you are impressed with what Google has put out, got hyped and well-known ;)

I don't know if this will work, some Google stuff seems to completely miss the mark. is anyone actually using Google Base for example?

Ahh fuck why did you have to mention that.

Google keeps collecting information.. scary..

I would rather have seen them buy paypal, than start thier own new one.

google could be the perfect CIA front :tinfoil:

you can bet the NSA is involved somehow. just like you can guarantee microsoft are ordered to write back doors into their software.

and no, this isn't tinfoil fantasies ... any government would do the same, they don't want information passing round the world unchecked...

back in 2002, Inktomi (now Yahoo search) inked a deal with the CIA through the CIA's company called In-Q-Tel, Inc.

http://www.gcn.com/21_17/tech-report/19141-1.html

The public info was that the CIA was simply going to use this technology in-house. yeah - right.

i'm suprised nobody talks about In-Q-Tel. it's a CIA company that 'invests' in technology/information companies. i'm sure if they 'invested' enough into some information companies, they would have significant access to information

I think it will do well but I would be very surprised if they support adult transactions.

I hope GPay blows paypal away. I am hoping they allow adult stuff.

Mark

GPay is the new StormPay.

I'm definitely going to check that out when its available

their adwords is said to be 30% click fraud with the SEC looking into it

google is a one trick pony for now scrambling to add revenue streams

yes - but - it's a $6 billion a year one trick pony. most businesses would kill for that sort of result...

I won't give them my credit card :)

click fraud will kill adsence and they will reject most of the sites
advertisers suffer but keep the ads because adwords appear in google too

it must be better than the biggest fraud PayPal

the more services, the better, as it breeds competition = healthy for any industry

i hope they would accept adult biz! :)

like the others said, google is trying to do everything but in reality they are doing nothing.

- froogle sucks balls. it's still buggy and not a lot of people are using it. they started working on froogle 3 years ago and it hasn't improved much since day 1.
- gmail is nice, but it's still buggy as hell. it's been in beta for a while too with no end.
- video is "ok" but won't survive. they are stealing content from too many places. they will get sued for this eventually and they will lose.
- adwords just SUCKS. they have not changed their system to help advertisers at all, they just try to figure out neat ways to rip them off more.

i could go on. they are grabbing everytihng but not doing much to improve what they have.

i will comment. google.com search engine is still better then most of the others though msn is catching up. google maps is great.

they've lost focus.

I agree that Adwords sucks, and Google Video has a long way to go. But GMail is fucking great, as well is Maps, and Earth. I also use Froogle pretty regularly.

So, when GBuy comes along sign me up.

well said.

paypal could use the competition. they have the fucking worst customer service on Earth.

i'll try their service in a year or two
