Chase Mobile Deposits iPhone App

A game changing app in the banking industry. I give it no more than 6 months before their main competitors offer the same service. Is this another sign of the death of bank branches?

CauseWorld

As we all know the hottest social networking tool on the block right now is FourSquare… seemingly purposeless; users run around the city checking in wherever they go.  The goal?  To earn badges, connect with strangers, pick-up tips, etc…  I think we all know this by now.

While the concept of FourSquare is great (geo-location, social networking, sales driver) the question remains; “why do people care?” – other than for glaring narcissistic reasons.  Another player has recently emerged (not gowalla) with a purpose great than “being a game”.  It’s called CauseWorld.

This app has much more of a direct purpose and it’s part advertising - part philanthropic (which I love).  Every time you check in, you earn Karma Points.  Those points can then be used to donate to real world charities.  Furthermore, you can scan UPCs of products from Kraft, P&G & other CPGs to earn points, these then lead to coupons… you get the point.

Either way, here’s an article explaining more: http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/causeworld_checking_in_for_charity.php#more

I like it.  Would love to partner with CauseWorld.
