Starbucks Now Playing

September 6, 2009 5:30pm by Barry Ritholtz

As I promised the missus I wouldn’t be tethered to the laptop via a mobile card, I have been hitting Starbucks each morning for some coffee and wireless.

Every now and again, a good song I am unfamiliar plays. I was getting up. walking tot he front, wheere there is a flat panel noting what was playing.

Then I noted buried on their (ATT) log in page. a section marked “Now Playing.” So I created my open pop up page by reducing the size of the page and keying on that part of their page:

Suggestion for Starbucks: Why not make this a pop up for your wireless users? You include a link to iTunes, but I bet very few people really sees this . . .
