Farid Mheir's insight:

Internet is a new "property" that must be anaged like any other corporate asset. In particular domain names, which often are assigned to individual users and are not renewed in time. Domains must also be managed, so that the naming conventions are appropriate and easilly tracked and crawled. Along with it, analytics should be created to report on usage and traffic. I've seen corporations plan marketing launches without proper domain names, only to find the URL is not available.... after thousands of leaflets had been printed!

GroceryServer and ZipList have bridged the gap between the store circular and the web.
Farid Mheir's insight:

Why Did Google Buy BufferBox? Because The Entire Mail And Package Delivery System Is Broken | TechCrunch

Why Did Google Buy BufferBox? Because The Entire Mail And Package Delivery System Is Broken | TechCrunch | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it
Today, Google bought an Ontario-based company called BufferBox. In a way, it kind of came out of left field.
Farid Mheir's insight:

Pick-up, as opposed to home delivery, is one option being seriously considered.
