Locate me and tell me what to do
New iOS 5 for Apple devices brings lots of new features and among them “Reminders”, a simple app that helps you out remembering what and when to do things in your every day life.
On the same date of iOS 5 release, popular geolocation app foursquare added a new tool named “Radar”.
This two different apps have in common push notifications based on your location: Apple Reminders tells you what to do when you’re leaving or arriving in a certain place. Let’s say: “Don’t forget to buy the newspapers (when leaving home in the morning)”. As soon as you’re going out a message pop ups on your iPhone.
Foursquare Radar has the same push notification system, based on the places you’ve already visited: you receive an alert, or if a business place is running a promotion or you’re immediately prompted directly on your phone screen.
I think both apps will have a great impact in our daily life, and I found them really useful. The Apple one finally adds something more relevant to the calendar than only the simple time, while from a marketing point of view foursquare is going to make cafes, restaurants and all the business places out there more active to attract people.
The bottom line is: are we under control all day long by our Big Brother?
DEM Aegean Airlines fail
Direct email marketing is still a good and powerful way to promote your business, unless you fail the language of the text.

I can’t speak greek.
