Open Coffee (26th August)
Bristol Open Coffee ran again this week, with a nice number of people for free-ranging conversation. Things we kicked around included:
- eBay -> will it be there in ten years? What about vertical auction sites? Is everyone just using Amazon?
- Mobile applications -> how to get the location data at low cost.
- Vouchers -> Why does Orange Wednesdays work, and why do other mobile voucher schemes seem like too much hassle? Orange invested significantly in their scheme; they made redemption easy for retailers and customers; they supported it with well-funded advertising (we pitched on some).
- Twitter and viral voucher or referral schemes.
Next Bristol Open Coffee: September 9th 2008. Thanks to Starbucks, Park Street for hosting.
After the voucher discussion, Tom and I have cooked something up with Google App engine…
It is so simple, but yet to be proved effective…
I reckon you’ll like it.
