Will you really want to wait for a book to be delivered by Amazon in X days for 5$? About comodities that have a higher price tag, do you really buy them without checking the price at home over the internet?<BR/>About GPS ads, just one more SPAM pipeline. Probably will need you to agree to receive it. If the price of my mobile phone usage will drop, I might consider accepting it (why should my carrier get all the money?).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17087655750423192746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9191890.post-1113543138002655772005-04-15T01:32:00.000-04:002005-04-15T01:32:00.000-04:00Just thought I'd point out something else that cou...Just thought I'd point out something else that could be detrimental to the retailer in question - what about location-based digital graffiti? Say I'm standing outside a restaurant, and someone has left a digital post-it note saying that the service inside is terrible. Would I still go in, having read that review?<BR/><BR/>Of course that opens up a whole different can of worms, like a competitor coming along to post a fake negative review, but I guess you can have systems giving the retailer a chance to respond/explain?<BR/><BR/>More simplistically applied to a book & not even in a context-aware setting, when you read Amazon.com reviews, if they're mostly bad, that'd probably put you off buying it... I guess in the restaurant case, if the restaurant is genuinely good, they'd have mostly good reviews anyway...<BR/><BR/>Er sorry got a bit off-track there! Anyway, re: LBS - I think once you (the mobile user) are in a relationship with a particular store/brand/firm, then nobody else (especially a competitor) should be able to interfere with that relationship, just because you happen to be in a particular place. Does that make sense? The power to start/modify/terminate the relationship should always reside with the buyer. If it resided with a competitor, well... I'd hope that would be illegal!<BR/><BR/>I love reading your posts, by the way - keep it up! =)Clarararhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15841092967627969240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9191890.post-1113492174455179452005-04-14T11:22:00.000-04:002005-04-14T11:22:00.000-04:00Lots of interaction and possibilities here.

McDonalds could "own" a specific geographic area around the store or an "active marketing cell" area where with permission based marketing you come within the said area and the GPS would pick it up and give you a $1.00 coupon off for a big mac meal. <BR/><BR/>Would there be a new bidding war to own a particular geographic area equivalent as owning a URL address or tradename? That would be really interesting. <BR/><BR/>kokonutguyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
