A bunch of ‘coffee people’ became happy yesterday, when Starbucks announced it would be partnering with AT&T to provide free WiFi. Starbucks has said that about 7,000 locations nationwide will carry the new service. Will small cafes hurt due to Starbucks offering free WiFi. We believe so.
Ok so is it really free? Well sort of, [...]

Prison Break star, Wentworth Miller recently revealed to People Magazine that Starbucks Frappuccinos were his favorite drink..well actually, he called them his ‘worst habit’. But he made a good point about why Starbucks Frappuccinos were so addicting, calling them, “A good excuse to have dessert for breakfast”.Celebrity Starbucks caught up with Wentworth Willer this summer, and he was drinking a Mocha Frappuccino!Source: CelibrityStarbucks

Hello Friends! Thanks so much for stopping by and visiting my blog, Stock Picks Bob's Advice! As always, please remember that I am an amateur investor, so please remember to consult with your professional investment advisers prior to making any investment decisions based on information on this website.A few moments ago I exercised my discretion in selling stocks based on fundamental changes in information available. I sold my 50 shares of Starbucks (SBUX) in my trading account at $27.00/share. It has been a great stock for me having purchased shares originally at a cost basis of $11.40/share on 1/24/03, slightly before starting this blog. Thus this represented a gain of $15.60 on these shares or 136.8% since their original purchase. This was the seventh sale of shares since my purchase, having sold shares at the 30, 60, 90, 120, 180, and 240% level. Sticking just with my own trading system, a sale of shares would have been triggered at the

Made some new friends at "my" Starbucks this morning, Amanda and Rachel! Say Jambo to Amanda (on the right). She informed me that Jambo is "hello" in Swahili, and she also gave me a nickname in the process - Buna.For the uneducated, Buna means....coffee (in Ethiopia).So, there you have it...a nickname that actually has relevance for me!Rachel also set me up with a Starbucks Passport this morning (on the left), and I completed my first page by trying the new Ubora Blend. And, since they are a perfect pairing (see this), Amanda gave me a piece of Carmelized Apple Pecan Coffee Cake (see the recipe HERE).Holy smokes - good stuff. I'll be hitting the gym this afternoon (thanks Amanda!).Anyway, here's to my new Starbucks buddies - thanks for the education, calories, and nickname!Signed,Buna
So I was working on a video at Starbucks last night when Shashu (smiling center) walked up to me and asked if I was there for poetry night. I said no. In fact I didn't know that my local Starbucks had a poetry night. I was on my way out when she arrived, but it was a pleasant surprise.

I posted this morning from my local Starbucks and paid tribute to my buddy Dan Berte in Romania.Not many people know more about the world of wireless and caffeine than Dan, so it was only fitting to tip my Venti cup his direction. Then, I'll be darned if he didn't take an almost exact picture of his laptop and Starbucks cup, from his favorite sippin' hole in Romania, and shoot it back my way!Dan, it almost feels like I'm right there with you talkin' about the pros and cons of free wireless!By the way, Dan reminded me that it would only take 8 years to walk from Frisco, TX to Cluj-Napoca, Romania. Wow. Wonder how much coffee I'd consume on the way?Thanks Dan - for making me laugh!Happy Wi-Fi Friday -
I'm doing my Dan Berte imitation this morning, as there's nobody I know who spends more time doing what he loves, and doing so via Wi-Fi with a strong cup of coffee in hand (Dan - I raise my Venti Rift Valley Blend in your honor!).Friday is my favorite day to land at Starbucks, and this is such a happenin' place you've got to get here by 5:45am to get your fave seat (sorry ma'am, I didn't know your name was written on this chair).Well, I'm off and kickin' - love the extra time to spend a few minutes in my Bloglines account catching up on this week's blogging, then it's off to Twitter for a quick update.Looking forward to talking to a few of my favorite people today:Susan Strayer - Susan has a new gig! Lookin' forward to getting the scoop.Dave Mendoza - isn't voice-mail a drag? We're catchin' up Dave....Scout's honor.Levy - hey dude, you never called me back!

Thurston Moore reckons he's surprised at the heat he's getting for placing the new Sonic Youth album through Starbucks:"I never thought of it as being more radical than recording for Universal Music. They're both corporations that have ties to things that people find sort of problematic. The compilation came out of the idea that I wanted Rather Ripped to be in Starbucks stores because that's where people were seeing CDs. They aren't going into record stores anymore."Certainly, as music producers, Starbucks' record seems more positive than any of the big RIAA companies.
Internet marketers could learn a thing or two from Starbucks. Instead of setting up "just another" coffee shop, Starbucks decided to be different. Rather than do what everyone else was doing it opted for a psychological approach.What they wanted was to make people addicted to Starbucks, not necessarily to coffee. The idea was that Starbucks would become the third most important place for people in their daily lives, behind home and the office. In order to do that, Starbucks had to offer something other than coffee.Instrumental in this process was the choice of tables; they are always round, never square. Round tables help people socialise more easily. Plus they invented words to create their own "culture" - such as "frappucino". What this did was make people feel part of a special community.That's precisely what good web sites do - they allow people to socialise and connect with each other, or feel part of a special community. If your sales web site doesn't achieve either of these th
