How The IoT Dwarfs Social Data

Posted on by

Recently, Gartner published a research note about the way IoT data will quickly dwarf social media data. I agree and have been predicting this phenomenon for quite some time. Gartner’s findings are in line with the way I see growth happening, but there’s an additional point I want to emphasize: It’s not just the size of IoT data that will dwarf social media data, but also its value.

Posted on by

Here’s How Walmart Plans To Take On Amazon Prime

Posted on by

Two day delivery will be an improvement to its existing ‘Shipping Pass’ program which currently offers three day shipping at a subscription of $49 per month, by providing faster delivery at the same cost. While Amazon is expanding its same day delivery option to several cities, it appears that Walmart is looking to shorten delivery times to compete with the e-commerce player. With cheap prices no longer being enough of a factor to attract consumers, faster and more convenient delivery options are the new battlefield for e commerce retailers. With this new delivery timeline, Walmart’s should be able to compete better with other e-commerce players, in particular Amazon.
