Why Doesn’t Google Change Your Music’s Albums? Influency.

Influency and Google Play Music Manager

The Influency and Integrated Marketing onion is about to get its layers peeled back. And as complex as the topic of Influency can be, new issues are always popping up.

Yesterday, I was in the car, and because I had left my iPod at home plugged my Galaxy Nexus SmartPhone into the car stero to listen to music.I wanted to play a particular album, scrolled until I found it, and noticed that Google Play Music showed only four of the album’s nine tracks.

Uh-Oh.

Nothing is Free—Except Maybe Google (But Not Really)

Google. Monopolies. Free Service Gone Paid, Business Change

Nothing is Free. Nothing. Is. Free. NOTHING IS EVER FREE.

You knew that, right?

I’ve been sharing my ideas about business change with you for years, and one of the themes that’s recurred over and over is that Google—even if somewhere deep in their bowels they still believe in their old corporate ‘Don’t Be Evil‘ credo—has become and will continue to become more and more evil.

Of course, business is business; ‘evil’ no more belongs in a business lexicon than ‘justice’ belongs in a discussion about law.

The Storage Isn’t Google; on Amazon Cloud Music Gets Free-er

A while back I told you about the best-yet-chance-of-outdoing-iTunes approach Google Music is taking to the music business. It’s almost becoming a theme; Google+ is better than Facebook, and although Google+ isn’t mature yet, it’s a great example of Google making better stuff than their competitors in key markets.

Amazon is doing their best to get into new businesses, too. The Amazon Cloud puts the retail giant into cloud storage in a way that has to impress any student of business change, and although Amazon Cloud Music felt a bit under-cooked when Amazon got together with Lady Gaga, Amazon’s cloud plans are starting to look smarter.
