Social Commerce: l’ultima frontiera della multicanalità Sono sempre più numerosi i merchant che stanno ben interpretando le potenzialità dell’eCommerce sfruttando tutte le opportunità offerte dall’approccio multicanale. La multicanalità, concetto in continua affermazione, va intesa come l’utilizzo congiunto ed integrato di diversi canali (principalmente canale fisico e canale online, a cui si possono facilmente aggiungere il canale mobile e il canale social) a supporto del processo di interazione azienda-consumatore. Il sito eCommerce è stato finora l’approdo d’elezione del cliente, catturato attraverso una serie di operazioni strategicamente mirate. Tuttavia, è il social commerce (insieme al mobile commerce, a cui dedicheremo un articolo a parte) a rappresentare il nuovo fenomeno di rilievo. Così, i possibili percorsi di acquisto abilitati dall’affiancamento dei nuovi canali –online e smartphone- al canale tradizionale -store-, grazie ai social network, vanno ampliandosi. Quattro sono i modelli di multicanalità piu diffusi: Conclusioni
The Ultimate Startup Intelligence Tools List 2013 It used to be hard to find information about early stage startups. Team members (and their background), funding to date, metrics (not just the vanity metrics shared by management) – all of these nuggets on private companies were behind a paywall of services like VentureSource, available only to those who could fork the annual subscription fees.

Smarter City | Un magazine dedicato alla città del futuro powered by IBM, a cura di Liquida Thinking, Fast and Slow: Daniel Kahneman: 9780374275631: Amazon.com Y Combinator Company Swapbox Launches And Aims To Pick Up Where Bufferbox Left Off You know the drill, you order something from your favorite site and you can’t wait to get the package. Like a blogger normal person, you go to work and hope that the package is there when you get home. That hope slowly turns into worry as you picture your valuable freight sitting outside of your home, while people walk by it and wonder what it is. There are a few companies providing solutions for this problem, setting up physical locations for you to have your packages shipped to, such as commerce juggernaut Amazon. Currently, there are two Swapbox locations, one at Stanford, where the co-founders Nitin Shantharam and Neel Murthy attended school, and the other in Glen Park. I sat down with the team and discussed their plans, which are pretty lofty and impressive. TC: Tell us about your team. Neel Murthy: Team is two people – Neel Murthy and Nitin Shantharam. TC: How many Swapbox locations do you hope to have open in the next six months?
