Shopper Experience and Competitive Advantage

Fri Jun 27 11:19:00 2008

When I was at Internet Retailer in Chicago a few weeks ago, I heard at least three speakers give as story that, abstracted, went something like this: We started off building our own ecommerce platform, then we switched to a vendor supported product. After we almost went broke, we went back to building our own ecommerce platform. Your reaction to that might be like mine was: "why would a retailer want to spend money building their own platform?"

You can identify people by selecting their face and typing in something (name, keyword, etc.) The service then will identify that same face using that keyword in any other photos you've uploaded.
