Hi!Gotta love Web 2.0 & Mobile Apps
A few days ago I was giving a presentation from my iPad on a projector, the only problem was I had lost the iPad-to-VGA out cable I purchased for my presentation. I had every intent of going to the Apple store during lunch, however as the day progressed it looked less and less likely that I was even going to be able to leave the building for more than 10 minutes.
I had Tweetie open when I see the following tweet come across my screen:
For those who don’t know, Tekserve is an alternative Apple retailer in NYC and Jonathan Wegener (@jwegener) is an awesome techie from the NYC Startup community (who was going to be attending the event).
I sent Jonathan a private tweet asking him if he could do me a favor and pick up the cable I needed. A few minutes later he responded with a confirmation that he purchased the cable and he’d charge me via Venmo.
Seconds later I receive a text from Venmo with a charge for the iPad Cable and I promptly confirm the charges.
End of story! (:
From Foursquare to Twitter to Venmo to Physical Hand Off. (: Gotta love it!
