ShopSavvy Weekend Update!
First, last week I jumped on a plane and headed to Mountainview (Microsoft Campus) to present at the Under the Radar Mobility Conference. ShopSavvy was head-to-head with very cool iPhone applications from around the country. Guess what? With a perfect score from the judges ShopSavvy came out on top. As the winner of the ‘best app iPhone award’ from Under the Radar I won an HTC Tilt running Windows Mobile (slightly ironic). Anyway, we are using it to test our Windows Mobile version of ShopSavvy. I wanted to thank Debbie Landa for the invitation and the judges.
Second, we were notified by Best Buy that we exceeded the cap for their product API. ShopSavvy is the FIRST remix partner to exceed the usage caps (despite the fact that we have tried to filter and cache queries to reduce load). When we got the call from Best Buy we were a little concerned they were going cut us off. Instead they increased our cap. ShopSavvy users can feel free to keep shopping. Oh and while we are on the subject, you guys are going nuts – our server traffic is up 4X. We brought in two additional 4 core servers this week to take care of the additional traffic.
Finally, in celebration of our great relationship with Best Buy we have decided to hold a ‘Scan Mob’ at the Park Lane (store 58) on Monday night. Show up with your iPhone or Android phone and start scanning at 5:45 and get a Best Buy Gift card. Here are the details: Best Buy Scan Mob.
Oh please can we please have this for win mobile before xmass!!!!
