I was at Whole Foods yesterday and I noticed that the posted very large window logos of Facebook and Twitter right on their entrance doors. I was like wow! This social media thing is really now a train that has left the station. In today’s news on TechCrunch they reported that Google is about to drop half a Bil, or $500,000,000 on Yelp! Yelp does online reviews of businesses.

Just the other day I was massively late to the Google local search listings I just added my business on it. Not sure if I did it correctly because it is only 80% complete.

In this other post on TechCrunch:

“What if every store had a bar-code sticker on its window so that you could pull out your iPhone, wave it in front of the bar code and get all sorts of information about that business—the telephone number, photos, customer reviews? Starting on Monday, you’ll be able to do that at up to 190,000 local businesses throughout the U.S.”

“I ask what if: every company has personal information on me?” How will it be used? With the available data today it is possible to tell where almost anyone is via cell phone GPS. Sure it is good to know where your dog is but do we have to spy on our kids and the government spy on us? Just how transparent are we all going?
