Gameocalypse

I read an article recently about the forthcoming "Gameocalpyse" - essentially everything will be Wi-Fi enabled and directly tied to advertising and customer loyalty programs. The example provided was that of toothbrushes that are linked to the internet - if you brush twice daily you get coupons for new brushes and toothpaste. Moreso if you brush correctly.

Personally, this to me seems like a great tool albeit with some downsides. I would imagine that property managers would easily be able to justify expenses to owners and easily update clients on repairs - blogs for each site which would contain gps locational info for contractors, maintenance personnel, along with real time pictures of work in action (midnight roof or hvac repairs with video!). Or portfolio specific sites that would track similar information, and tracking info comparing jobs on a per square foot or per hour basis across differing contractors seems like just the tip of the iceberg.

Property Redevelopment though would be a lot tougher. Sometimes the key to a redevelopment is a lot more involved than just the cost per square foot. It may lead to more potential tenants - if a tenant is happy with a redeveloper they would work hand in hand with them to secure new or additional space, which can reduce costs for both sides.

I'm certain a buck or two could be made on this - most large property management houses already have something similar, though not as all-encompassing.

Ideally we'd design the site in house and beta test with real world scenarios and updates - now to find someone with the skills to put it together.
