POST DIGITAL

on: the tesco virtual store

Imagine that on your walk home, every outdoor ad that you passed had a QR code that when scanned, would put the item into your shopping cart. As I stated in my post about the future of retail: The future of QR codes isn't about entering people into your sweepstakes. It's about making their lives easier.

This installation by Tesco, a market in South Korea actually puts a virtual store in unexpected places (like subway stations), and lets people shop with their phones.

Was This Effective? The move increased online sales by 133%, and made their chain the #1 online seller in Korea.

Turntable.FM is a fun take on online music delivery, with a unique social element.

There are countless rooms filled with DJs just like you, spinning music for their friends. Join a room and add songs, rate songs, follow your dj friends and of course...buy songs.

FourSquare announced they’ve hit the 10 million users, with this animated info-graphic.

on: hotel tonight

This is one of the best finds I have run across this month at the App Store.  Imagine finding a list of curated hotels that had open discounted inventory; Imagine no more - I just found a room at the ACE for 150$ through a great app called HotelTonight.  At noon, daily, they update a fabulous list of unsold inventory at top rated hot spots in major metros to anyone who has the HotelTonight app.

If you have not downloaded the HotelTonight app - you should.  It is one of the most useful apps I have found this month!
