This is Coppley’s new video… it’s unbelievable… and also done by my amazing sister, Stephanie Howe. Great work sister!!!

Sanders is on a roll today… contributing to both of the first two posts.  Anyways, the purpose of this post is to tell you all about Viigo.  If you don’t have a blackberry, this may not be worth your while (unless you’re looking to be convinced to go out and buy a blackberry). 

Viigo is an application you can get for your blackberry by simply going to viigo.com.  Through this application you can get streaming news on your bb from all of your favourite news sites (BBC, Reuters, etc…), sports sites, blogs, and more.  It is an unbelievable program that allows you to be tapped in to news on your bb all the time.  On your way to work? No time to check the internet, but want to get some updates on the market? Viigo solves all of your problems.

Best news of all? I have linked my blog now to Viigo.  Go in to the application, click on your blackberry icon on your phone and select “Add Channel”.  After that, hit the bb button again and select enter URL and just type in chrisreynolds.wordpress.com.  RSS2.0 will come up, select that, and go back to your favourites.  ”whatever, whatever.” will be listed there with the rest of the great sites you’ve picked.

Now, not quite as amazing as the Starbucks-Apple combo I blogged about the other day, but really not bad (especially for the crackberry lovers).

So, you’ll probably read a ton of blogs which are vehemently anti-corporate, rail against MNC’s, and say that NAFTA is garbage – this is not one of those blogs. I am unapologetically in favour of all of the aforementioned more than most people. If NAFTA was tangible, I would take it out for a seafood dinner… and call it back again.. and again… and again. Anyways, the point is, I have just read some unbelievable news. A partnership between Apple and Starbucks? This is amazing and will now join other formidable duos such as peanut butter and jelly, Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr., and Starbucks and Starbucks (the double Starbucks visit in one day… I like to think of it as a duo) in a place close to my heart.

All jokes aside, what they are doing here is pretty unbelievable. Just read from the website:

Say you’re in line at Starbucks. You hear this amazing song wafting from the speakers. You gotta have it. Now. Tap the iTunes button on your iPhone or iPod touch, tap the Starbucks button, and voilà: You see the current song, the last 10 songs played, and featured Starbucks Collections. Preview, buy, and download whatever you like, right then and there. Or, if you’re sipping away with your laptop, buy what’s playing — exclusively on iTunes.

Seriously though, Starbucks and Apple, despite whatever granola lovers/free trade haters/the unemployed say about you, keep up the amazing work.

ps – Yes, they used the word WAFTING to describe playing music… I’m going to Future Shop and then Starbucks right now.
