As seen on the Best Buy Apps Blog:

An experimental team building an experimental app.That's the one sentence description for how the Best Buy Iphone app (and Android app) came into being.

This past week, I attended the CTIA International Wireless event in Las Vegas with @garykoelling. 

I had expectations going in:

–                   Meet some startups

–                   See some new tech

–                   See a glimpse of what is coming soon

–                   See thought leaders debate

–                   Learn

Some of this happened.

This week, our team published Best Buy's first application for the Android platform. It is a beginning. We look at it as a work in progress. Can we call it "beta?"

This is a Prezi I gave to the Kansas City IABC in November 2009.

Last night was the third installment of #behindthefirewall chat on Twitter. I had to miss it, reluctantly. If you are not familiar with it, this chat is geared toward those interested in the use of social technologies and social media inside an organization. Some of the regular attendees are practitioners, strategists, and leaders in the implementation and use of enterprise social media tools.

The organizer, Arik Hanson (@arikhanson) was gracious enough to agree to my recapping of last night's conversation and offer my own perspective. Now I'm laughing at myself for suggesting this idea. I'm reading through the thread. The group covered a lot of ground in 60 minutes.

The starting topic last night was about metrics. “What are [organizations] doing to measure success internally? What does success even look like?” via @arikhanson. In my opinion, GREAT subject.
