Several good articles have accumulated over the last few days.
First we have some thoughts on the current battle between Amazon.com and Wal-Mart for dominance in eCommerce. There will be winners and losers alongside the road as this plays out. Where are you?
Next is news that Apple is implementing its new "iBeacon" technology in its retail stores. Very interesting play and continues the drumbeat of BLE.
Finally, a view of the Dunnhumby model of personalized shopping as viewed through Safeway supermarkets.
If any of these pique your interest you can find the article linked below:
