You're back! Be sure to follow me on Twitter before leaving.

Check out how this restaurant uses the iPad to offer something huge to the customer experience. Of course it’s open to abuse; theft, damage etc. But this could all be heavily reduced by taking a credit card as a deposit upon entry. After all, any restaurant that would employ this as a strategy would invariably target the middle-upper end of the market.

What if they added a feedback system to the app, that automatically logged the data in a central database? The restaurant would benefit from a huge conversion of feedback, simply because adding your comment would be incredibly fun to do.

What if you could then choose to share this feedback across your choice of social sites? Free publicity during all open hours, constant, day-after-day. Of course, your meals and service had better be good!

Here is another video I filmed at SMX London 2010 of Alex Cohen from Click Equations. This was one of the best received talks of the two-days and Alex really does deliver some great information that challenges the typical reports that we learn to read as search marketers.

The truth is that 90% of the reports we use aren’t really that great. Unless of course, we use the data that comes from them to improve a campaign. Otherwise it’s just another set of numbers, lost within a folder of excel spreadsheets.

I’ll let the video speak for itself because it does itself great justice on making numbers count. Oh, and slides are below the video.

Please retweet if you enjoy this video :)
