Still Want To Know Why?

On February 12, 2011, in social media, by Adam

I’m sure there are more than a few of these around, but I’m likin’ this one. If you’re still not sure about Social Media as a Business Tool/Opportunity, take ~4 minutes and watch this:

Social Purchasing.  Learn how, why (and) if your business should be using services like Groupon and Living Social.

We’ll talk about this ‘next big thing’ in Social Media. Yes, it’s the first time you can really see quantifiable results, but is it a good idea for you?

Soooooo… I think we can call the iPad a hit. Apple sold 3 million in the first 80 days after launch.

There were about 80 ‘tablets’ that appeared at the recent CES.

That’s a lot of data being tossed through the airwaves.

So, listen up AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint, Metro PCS and anyone else I’ve forgotten to mention. Here is your next BIG winner. First one to do this will win customers BIG time:

Data Buckets

Huh?  Well, let’s say you’re on a Family-type plan now. You pay for (lets say) 1000 minutes and have 3 phones. It’s not that each phone gets 333.33 minutes. It’s a bucket of 1000 minute with 3 straws. You can ‘drink’ as much or as little as you want.

Do it with data. Every carrier has already killed off the unlimited data plan anyway. Give us 2GB (or whatever) of data and let us tell you how many ‘straws’ we want. I don’t care if it’s my iPhone, my tablet, my notebook or whatever. They all ‘drink’ from the same bucket. And don’t charge me for each device. If you want to charge something like $5 more (TOTAL) fine, but don’t nickle & dime me for each device. $30 (or so) for 2GB for as many devices on my account is a killer idea.

Go do it – now – before I buy my iPad 2.0

 

Ready for the iPhone on VZW

Sounds like it’s a pretty good bet that Verizon will announce the iphone for their network tomorrow (1/11). Are you going to go for it? Click the link HERE for our mini poll
