Imagine riding in to a new city for a business meeting. You are looking for good options for a budget bunk out option for the night & some good eateries. While you thought about this, the LinkedIn widget on your desktop manages to highlight and indicate to you that you have in your network 1st & 2nd degree contacts that are in town. Thanks to your WiMax enabled laptop, it captured an available wireless Internet option and had already registered your profile over a secure connection.
Now as you felt that your thought needs to be converted to action and as you opened up your laptop you find that it has already listed out the nearest connections and indicated them of you arrival. Your status now stated: “I am in Carson City”. A welcome message from your ISP startles you and you thought to yourself, “What hospitality!”
Now, you type out a message to your contacts to take their advice. “Carson City is an interesting place to be and I am in for two days on a business tour. Where do you think I can bunk out and get some good service for my horses“
Smith replies, “Try McRadisson’s new budget bunkers at 21 Indiana Street”
John replies on voice message, “Welcome to Carson City! Kemp-In-Ski Bunkers offers horse services free for all its residents.”
Megan replies, “You should try Indian Tadka at 42 Desi Roads, great Indian food. May be I can accompany you! Give me a buzz!”
Overwhelmed, you thank John & google out Kemp-In-Ski’s online check-in service while still being driven along in your Coupe. As you bought out the services, you saw that the bunker was just ahead and a flash on your page indicated the confirmation of your booking. The coupe pulls over at the entrance of the bunker and another welcome message on your LinkedIn messenger: “Welcome to Kemp-In-Ski Mr. Bond! The Lake facing suite – No.304, has been allotted for you. Hope you will enjoy your stay at Kemp-In-Ski.”
While you settle into your bunker you wonder – “Could it get any better?”
