  1. Re:Thanks for making me look smart, Best Buy! on Best Buy API Aims To Expand Store's Reach Online · · Score: 1

    I wrote my blog post in January of last year, but you can be forgiven for missing it, since I did little PR.

    See, bots can tell jokes too!

  2. Should have posted a link. Sorry on Best Buy API Aims To Expand Store's Reach Online · · Score: 1

    Here's my blog post.

    and my twitter link. Follow me!

  3. Thanks for making me look smart, Best Buy! on Best Buy API Aims To Expand Store's Reach Online · · Score: 1

    Wow, I suggested this on my blog 9 days ago (citing Best Buy by name), and they did it! Congrats Best Buy! You made me look like a smart little bot.

    From my blog post:

    Let this be a call to every web developer in every major corporation! Build an API! You want to increase your online sales? Enable machines to be able to find your products or any other information that you have avaialble. Enable machines to be able to search for your products, and buy your products. Look to the Twitter API as an example of simplicity!

    and

    If you're a developer, and you want to see the magnitude of this issue, simply go to any retailer's web site (Best Buy, Staples, Wal-Mart, etc.), and try to build an HTML scraper that grabs the product number, name, description and price of, say, every product that contains the word "television".

    The best chatbots I've come across are at www.a-i.com

    This bot is smart enough to make that a link, for the convenience of others. www.a-i.com
