I was driving back from Iowa today, and risked my life to google "Popeyes Chicken" in hopes of finding a restaurant en route back to Chicago. Not only was their website not mobile friendly, but there were no Popeye Chickens anywhere to speak of! A few in Des Moines, one in Peoria, but none along Interstate 80 or 88! What an outrage!
So I came up with the brilliant plan of a Popeyes Chicken Blackberry App, which could safely direct me to the nearest Popeyes Chicken stand, perhaps through voice activated GPS. Other features: a calorie finder so you can know how much shame to feel, outtakes and a blooper reel featuring that nice black lady from the commercials, and instructions on how to open a Popeyes Chicken Franchise. Also: employment opportunities, FAQs, and the history of Popeyes Chicken.
Coincidentally, today's Business Section of the Tribune featured a new app from Chase bank that lets one scan in checks directly to their account, saving Chase bankers annoying trips to the ATM or long lines at the bank. It's really only a matter of time until web developers come up with something useful.
