FINALLY! Starbucks says: There’s an app for that.
Better Latte Than Never!
In case I haven’t mentioned it, I’ve been known to be a bit of a caffeine junky.
And having fond memories of my near decade in the Emerald City, Starbucks holds a very special place in my heart – a place reserved for those who concoct elixirs comprised of my three favorite food groups: caffeine, sugar and dairy (and occasionally the fourth: chocolate).
That said, Starbucks had left me feeling a bit let down at their lack of collaboration with one of my other true loves – Apple. In particular my iPhone.
Until today.
From the Starbucks blog:
Today we launched two iPhone / iPod touch applications, myStarbucks and Starbucks Card Mobile. These are great (and free!) and will let you have a fun and useful Starbucks Experience wherever you are. You can design your own beverage, view your balance and load your Starbucks Card, look up nutritional information on our beverages and food, and learn about our different whole bean coffees. No, you can’t place an order using the app (not yet anyway), but we’re just starting out.
It’s not exactly the ability to tweet a latte to a buddy, but give the relationship time to mature – I have hope it will blossom.
For more details, check out the video below or visit the Starbucks Ideas in Action Blog. You can find the app here.

Inside the Bloggers Studio: Chris Blake
Chris Blake is an example of why I love sites like Twitter. I’m not sure how our tweets crossed paths, but I am glad they did. Chris is a talented musician. I love his music, but music reviews are not what I do best. Instead, to give you an idea of why I <3 Chris, I’m “borrowing” from another TV institution. Today’s installment of Inside the Bloggers Studio will be prefaced by my own “Top 10 List”. [click on the star image to read more]

That does sound quite interesting: the older I get, the more information I want, and this app promises to give some rather timely information.
Just curious: is there anything in particular you order at Starbucks? I’m always trying different things there, haven’t settled on anything yet…
