2008 February | Sixty Second Tech

So, it’s 2008, the third consecutive year of the mobile. The only difference is that this year you boss walks into your office and asks you if you have finished developing the company’s mobile strategy.

Now at this point you could admit that you’ve been using your research money to buy Lattes at Starbucks. However, I’m going to share with you a strategy. Listen closely because I’m not going to share it with just everyone.

Twitter

Yes, you heard me right, twitter.com is the secret to your company’s mobile strategy.

Twitter has a great API which means that your programmer can easily integrate it with your current CRMS. Don’t get me started if you don’t already have a CRMS.

The great thing is though, if your goal is to communicate with customers via web and SMS, twitter will let you dip your toe in the water and see if you have any customers who even want to communicate with you that way. If you do, great! Hire dozens of programmers and start flinging code (it’s a technical term) However, if you do venture into this brave new world and find that you are all alone, well you’ve minimized the risk to your company and are the hero for not having wasted money on what is obviously a fad.

Sixty Second Tech delivers what it promises, a weekly 60 second podcast that explores one concept, technology, tip or trick that you need to be aware of.

Sixty Second Tech is the technology podcast for non-technology people.

We don’t read code and we don’t talk in buzzwords. We just discuss new technologies using plain English.

Sixty Second Tech is the cure for BSS

Sixty Second Tech is the only known cure for “Blank Stare Syndrome” (BSS). BSS happens when one of your technical friends starts talking to you and unconsciously slips into geek speak. They don’t realize they’ve triggered BSS until long after your eyes glaze over. BSS is an embarrassing condition but a curable one, just spend one minute a week listening to Sixty Second Tech.

You won’t master a new technology listening to a sixty second podcast, for that matter, you won’t master any technology just listening to any podcast. Our goal is to plant a seed, give you something to think about in your downtime during the day.

We want to spark an idea, we like to watch the fireworks!

So join us each week and …think for a minute.
