New technology

Over the years I've had a chance to work for some very large companies. I've had a chance to work for the 800 pound gorillas and I've also the chance to work for the small little creatures that run through the jungle: What you (the 'royal' you) give up in job security, a steady paycheck and a lack of responsibility knowing that there's always a manager director ahead of you to take the blame if you or your team don't do well you definitely gain and excitement and adventure working for the little guys.

So it was only a matter of time before I realized that I can di this for myself. So after a bit of brainstorming and a bit of observation, myself and a few friends decided to come up with a project called •gbot•. 

The •gbot• app, just like the other projects that are in the funnel at the EQI, was something that really should have been invented by somebody else bye now.

Our mission statement at EQI has been to identify user behavior and fill the void in a marketplace when a product should already exist to accommodate that behavior.  The •gbot• app definitely fulfills a need for shoppers who shop all the time at grocery stores, to be able to go out and save money on their groceries. A lot of other new exciting projects are in the works and coming along shortly. It's up to us, the users, the inventors, the salesman and everyone else to do their part and make sure that these great new products get made. 

If you have an idea you have a vision or you have a great concept that should see the light of day, you should definitely pursue it and do your best to make sure it comes to fruition. Support local ideas, support local entrepreneurs, support yourself. Join up now-- sign up for free on gbot.ca and be one of the beta testers to help usher in this great new technology. Let us know what you think, let us know what your ideas are.

And speaking of great new ideas and even great innovations on old ideas it should be known that I'm actually dictating this entire blog on Dragon dictation. Just another great technology that I'm finally getting the hang of and starting to use on a regular basis. So is •gbot• going to be the next Dragon dictation or the next Groupon? Well we'll just have to wait and see. I look forward to reading your feedback and so does the rest of the •gbot•

team. With your help and support during this beta phase who knows maybe we will have come up with the next big thing.

Having fun with design

As a creator there is a fine line between creating a great, self explanatory design that's intuitive and fun to use versus just plain old mood swinging  'I want it this way'. The 'my way or the highway' designer is only making an app or web service for themself. It has been a privilege and pleasure to work with Bobby Nemati on the design of the •gbot• app. Taking the brand concept to a real level where the fun isn't sacrificed by function. Take a look at his work (and •gbot•, of course) here at http://bobbynemati.com/?oxy_portfolio_image=technology-table and drop us a line on twitter @gbotcanada @scvjetkovich @bobbynemati 

Shop easy, everyone,
