Now I have seen it all…a Social Networking gift card!But actually it is a great idea for the gift card company…imagine the possiblities.It would be great to give b-day, get-well, and other gifts from inside your Facebookworld? Here is an excerpt or click here for the full story.Ideaedge, Inc., a developer of prepaid gift card programs, is expanding itsofferings using social networks to encourage groups of people to contributeto one gift card.The platform, called the Social Network Enabled Gift Card, will allowmultiple people to contribute to a group gift card. The application willlet people choose a card and create a list of friends from social networks,such as MySpace.com, to donate toward the card amount.Wonder how I apply this to enterprise software marketing. any ideas?
Saw this today on CRN website. Creepiest t-shirt from Forescout.com
I had a friend today miss a leading meeting that he NEVER misses. No explanation by the substitute leader at first so I took it upon myself to stalk him via Tweeter.com. Via his real-time blog ala tweeting, I found out that his mother was in the hospital undergoing bipass surgery. I text messaged him my thoughts and prayers. I then told the people in the meeting that he and his mom were doing well. Finally I saw a use for this tweeting thing.But it got me to thinking…what about business uses are there any here? Right up front I thought…delivery drivers = pizza, low cost couriers/shippers, moving vans. What about mundane things like garbage trucks…wouldn’t it be great if you knew when that guy was going to pick up you bags. Maybe you could sleep in. I will think of more but in the meantime check it out. Start tweeting here I also found a tool that saves me from tweeting my fingers off via my phone. Snitter does it on my mac…and introduces you to Adobe’s new platform Adobe AIR…another subject for another day
