Imagine walking past your favorite store and a 50% off coupon pops up on your smartphone.Toronto based company, Clip Mobile has launched an application that does exactly this. It recognizes your physical location via GPS and then offers you coupons within the area. The app is free to users and extremely inexpensive to merchants so I can see this app gaining some traction quickly. With offices just opened up in Vancouver last month, the Clip Mobile team is working hard to get coupon offers for many of the city’s hot spots.
The iphone app is also being developed for Blackberry and Android.

Shane Gibson (Well known speaker and sales trainer) & Stephen Jagger (founder Ubertor) celebrated in style last night a V Lounge in Yaletown for the launch of the new book SOCIABLE.
The book shares insight on how quickly media is changing and what we must do in order to reach consumers in a new era of communication.
I haven’t read the full book yet since I just bought it last night, but I strongly agree with a few cores messages.
1. The books tagline, “It’s not who you know, it’s who knows you”.
2. Chapter 1 “Burn your business cards”
…and get a .TEL
3. Things are changing rapidly folks and managing social media can be extremely overwhelming so it’s important to find the tools you’re gonna need to keep up!
