Author’s Commentary
“Realtime, mobile apps are changing the face of
local commerce and advertising. Armed with
smartphones, users can instantly see who or
what is around them – and this can have
dramatic implications on their purchase
decisions, from which restaurant to go to, to
which store has the cheapest of the item they
want. ‘It’s like on-demand for the real world.’”
-- Dr. Augustine Fou
