Google is Essentially Building an Anti-Amazon Alliance, and Target is the Latest To Join (recode.net)
Google and the country's biggest brick-and-mortar retailers have one main problem in common: Amazon. Now both sides are acting like they are serious about working together to do something about it. From a report: On Thursday, Target and Google announced that they are expanding what was a years-old delivery partnership from a small experiment in a handful of cities to the entire continental U.S. The expansion will allow Target to become a retail partner in Google's voice-shopping initiative, which lets owners of the Google Home "smart" speaker order items through voice commands like owners of the Echo can do from Amazon. The announcement comes seven weeks after Walmart inked a similar deal with Google to offer hundreds of thousands of products through the service. Other big-box retailers like Home Depot are also on board. Voice commerce was the core of these recent announcements, and it may someday become popular for types of shopping like reordering household staples. But that's not what is most interesting here to me. Instead, it's the promise that Target is also beginning to work with Google "to create innovative digital experiences using ... other cutting-edge technologies to elevate Target's strength in style areas such as home, apparel and beauty."
I love to be PROBED by Teh G! And only Teh G!
Looks like Amazon is about to get Scroogled!!
Why not create a competitive service? -_-
Anons need not reply. Questions end with a question mark.
Its anti-NotGoogle and not just Amazon. They have screwed over Windows and Mac users before as well.

A year or so ago, I would have welcomed this -- but since then, you've done pretty much everything in your power to burn your bridge with me. And you've succeeded.
So I have to have a google bug device and struggle with a "voice" interface buy stuff... this is DOA. Just put in my regular not-mobile web browser with a fast, full size, not-flat, non-suck UI. Make EVERYTHING in Target/Home Depot/Walmart have accurate stock levels and be same-day delivery from this site. That's how you compete with bleeping Amazon.
Maw! Fire up the karma burner!
i been an amazon customer for a few years and for the most part they are okay, but the last year or two i noticed they have been slacking off when it comes to checking the quality of the people they allow to sell on amazon, i been ripped by deceptive bait & switch items a couple of times and it reminded me of the ebay tricks that made me quit buying from ebay, (are the bad vendors following me around?)

and my kid had what I think could be negative brand loyalty. It's funny because I know people in their 60s who still have it and it's weird to talk to them. They'll say good things about a brand without much cause and if you point to a cheaper / better alternative they're not interested.
Still, I wonder what happened that killed brand loyalty so completely. I'm guessing the crap economy and declining wages mean folks pinch pennies a lot harder. Maybe general cynicism but that could be chocked up to the wage thing too.

Seriously? You seriously believe anyone wants to do that?
One of two things is happening:
1) Everyone-except-me spends most of their time shopping. If you're not asleep, then you're probably shopping. We all just sit around thinking about things we want to buy, and we're all frustrated that it takes so much work (ugh, the clicking! the endless clicking!!) to get them purchased. It's hell on earth, we have a problem, and we need it fixed. If only I had a convenient thing that would take voice commands for shopping! I would pay for that. I would order it. I'm ordering things right now. Anyone wanna sell me one of those? Oh well. I'll be ordering more stuff again in 15 minutes, so maybe my fantasy shopping interface will be ready then.
2) The aforementioned isn't true, but the people who run Amazon and Google think it's true.
"Believe me!" -- Donald Trump
Clearly voice shopping is the Achilles heel of Amazon. It's a market they have no part in and by the way, it is huge.
Said no one ever. Sounds more like a ship of fools, and doubly so for being captained by a company that never finishes what it starts. At least shoprunner was in the same zip code as a good idea.
Jews believe this of others they call goyim/gentiles (any non-jew): Jews = biggest racists of all (for which they "jew guilt" you for no less! They're hypocrites known as thieves all thru history or were Argentines in the 1940 under Perrone, Spanish inquistion, France (1306), Egypt (despoiled/robbed by jews), Arabs (pre & post 1948), England (1330 Edward longshanks), Romans under titus, Russia pogroms and Germany who got rid of them from their nations nazi german's too? No. Driven into DESERTS ages ago! Don't wonder why after all those exilings above. Should anyone doubt any of this see Jacob Javits' crony Rosenthal spill the beans on it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4zMVZ8HnFI/ where he called all Christianity fools for helping Israel and the biggest scam of all time per their beliefs below from their Talmud. This is the province of the synagogue of Satan (Khazar/Pharisees whom Jesus Christ himself kicked to the curb out of the temple):
Barbara Spectre, a jew, tells everyone it's jews orchestrating the muslim migrant problem in Europe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFE0qAiofMQ/ . No migrant raping of women in Poland.

George Soros who funds groups to create division in the USA?? A jew. One who sold his own jew people into death for the nazis. Zucker @ CNN is another frying publicly for lying about "russians" and John Bonifield a producer @ CNN said it is bs. Van Jones did also.

There are three types of people who call themselves Jews:
1. True Torah [Sephardic] Jews: these are the descendants of Prophet Jacob-Israel (Jacobites or Israelites) (about 5%-10% of all Jews)
2. Khazarian or Ashkenazi Jews: these are the descendants of a Turkic idol/phallic worshiping tribe who migrated to Russia in the 7th Century A.C. and whose nobility converted to Judaism in the 8th Century A.C. and now inhabit mostly Europe. (about 90%-95% of all Jews)
3. Zionist Jews: these are the ones from the 2 above who are pretending to be Jews for political reasons but whoâ(TM)re are actually Illuminists-Luciferian-Masonic-Satanists as Harold Wallace Rosenthal admits in this interview.
They are led by the neo-Pharisees (occult-priest-banklords). They want to establish a Zionist Luciferian state from the Nile to the Euphrates from where they plan to rule the Earth. The new Israeli Supreme Court funded by the Rothschilds Banklords is full of Masonic Symbols, just like the B.I.S. Bank of International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, which is the Mother of All Private Central Banks.
The hexagram symbol on the Israeli flag is the ancient Star of Moloch, a Satanic-Baal deity to which people were sacrificed. There is no such thing as a Star of David which the modern Jews have been fooled into believing; however, the True Torah Jews are not fooled by the Zionists Illuminatis and you can visit their websites for more info .

Target is like K-mart for me, except more expensive
Here's the situation the last time I went to Target, I walked, didnt find anything remotely close to what I was looking for, and left, endless isles of crap I would never buy, but something simple like a toy xylophone no dice
but if I wanted one of those shitty crosley radio's or a can of brasso ... shit they didnt even have a fucking can of brasso, glass polish, plastic polish granite polish, stainless steel polish but no fucking brasso!
waste of time
yeah, it's a thing
Just offer the same things as Amazon at the same price with 2 day shipping and not yearly Prime membership.
The first thing I did when I got my Echo was disable voice ordering - that is just begging and shouting for disaster.
Amazon shines in two places:
1. You can get just about anything there, without having to check a bazillion places to find something.
2. It's very easy to use.
Manage both of those features and you'll be competitive.
Google and Wal-Mart form an alliance.

target broke up with amazon a few years ago (they used to power target's online commerce). target will also tire of google dictating terms and will leave this 'alliance' within three years.
If only Google was relevant in this space.....and Target, you missed the boat on "innovative." What a hack.
I object to power without constructive purpose. --Spock
Bought a watch there and for the longest time they adjusted the armband and swapped the battery for free. One fine day they told me they no longer offer that service. That was the last time I was in a Target store. With that attitude towards customers they can NEVER compete with Amazon.
