I’ve recently digged into various coupon sites online and besides the Groupon.com hype, I only found Retailmenot as one of the best ones out there.
But where doe we stand with mobile coupons? Foursquare and others already help us to check in and share location based data. Why is nobody going into the local coupon space. Just putting your status on “hungry” and while walking by tons of restaurants you get bombarded with offers from different restaurateurs or sites like Opentable.com.
It’s an incredible difficult field to compete with, but where the hell are these offers? I am waiting for a few years now that somebody starts a digital signage business that reacts on localized data.
The walled gardens are not really there anymore and smart phones are able to offer better and better services to app developers, so can some smart developer please put that app up and allows me to get the best pizza deal based on my Twitter status.
Social media meets localized mobile marketing is something I just cannot wait for anymore Where is my coupon code
Pretty cool new presentation tool from RIM: The Blackberry Presenter. Now you can leave your laptop at home…and just show your PPT from your phone. Sweet
Finally my last connection with Time Warner is done. After years of dependency to magazines, internet, email and TV, I’ve made the jump to the Dish Network.
The guys over at USDish.com just hooked me up and I finally can watch my beloved Food network, ESPN and my local channels again.
Time Warner just got on my nerves, after I received hundreds of telephone offers on my VOIP phone. On top my price raised to $150/month (from $99 in the beginning), which I thought was ridiculous.
Well…now it’s done. No more mortgage and credit card phone calls at 7pm! I feel good
Apologies again for our hosting issues. We still have performance issues with Dreamhost and looking into other webhosting companies. Any recommendations about a cheap and reliable hosting company is always welcome.
Pretty cool gadget, but well under public radar: The MIFI wireless network to go. Instead of using a surfstick or UMTS card this is the coolest gadget for 2009. Really like it a lot. Wonder why nobody really write about it.
It’s portable and allows up to 5 devices to connect. Perfect for meeting or any kind of group travel.
Pretty cool new Iphone Skin….Crusts n’ rust! The rusty look certainly takes away that snobbish Iphone image and makes it look pretty cool. Would be interesting to see if people really think that this is rust : )Check it out:
Since we are in the middle of the weddding season I was wondering if there is really an Iphone app for weddings. And yes…there is a free wedding planner app called iWedding. The app manages from the gift registry and wedding music ideas up to wedding invitations and inspiration for dresses, venues and cakes pretty much everything. Personally I think this is a little over the top, but I bet there are enough Iphone addicts, who will like that. I really cannot wait for the new Apple ad: Wedding issues? There is an app for that
Quick note: This weekend I will fix the QR Code generator and the blog design. I haven’t had a chance over the past 6 weeks, bit I’m ‘happy that we got this blog fully up and running again after Dreamhost messed us up. Some stuff is still a little stlow, but bear with me……it’ll be full speed up in no time.
The other day I was wondering what happened to Motorola, the pre Iphone mobile device star. So I visited the Motorola cell phones store online in order to check out the latest gadgets. The RazR apparently went down faster than anybody can imagine and I would not be surprised if the competitive smart phone market will look completely different in 2-3 years. Maybe the Iphone will have done it’s part and Nokia, Google or Motoral will run the show….
But back to Motorola. The latest gadget was the Moto Q 9c. Looks like a sold smartphone and pretty close to a Blackberry. It’s got a nice 1.3 megs camera w. flash in it and runs with Windows Mobile 6.
So overall not a bad phone. So why the hell is everybody focused on the BB? Is it just the branding or what does a BB have that the Moto Q doesn’t? A mediocre app store maybe or special mobile internet capabilities? I definitely will check out Motorola again
