This week I have found some really amazing apps and sites, in fact there have been so many new ones that it has been very hard to get this down to just three for the blog. USA Today, International Herald Tribune and an old favourite - bbc click - have all pointed me in the direction of some great, innovative, things.
Here's my top 3 picks for awesome app status:
http://www.shopkick.com/ - This is retail rewards for just visiting a store. You can build more points by linking a credit card for your transactions at that store too. It's taking the rewards programme to the next level - finding out for retailers where you visit and then what you do, and of course don't, purchase.
http://qikserve.com/ - a waiter in your pocket?!! Well, an app that lets you order your food from the table. Launched at Bristol airport it gives you the chance to sit down with the kids/bags/etc away from the queuing hassle and order your grub. Then its brought over to you. Love the idea. Not sure on the implementation yet - but think it could be a winner! Would love to see this rolled out to many restaurants & fast food joints.
https://www.playfootfall.com/ - This is a social trading game designed to get you interested in being an entrepreneur. I like anything that encourages the entrepreneurial gene so this one gets my vote. It is focussed on shoes though - which isn't my passion - but a lovely idea.
The world of apps is really innovating at present. I felt like I'd seen it all, but these are great and there are more smart people doing more smart things every day particularly in areas such as http://www.techcitymap.com/index.html
I look forward to publishing more awesome app stuff soon!
