Facebook hooks up with Starbucks for physical gifts trial

A Facebook button allows users to send friends real gifts including Starbucks gift cards, cupcakes and teddy bears.

Users can choose a gift, attach a message and then post it to a friend's timeline or send it privately.

The recipient is then able to unwrap a preview of the gift and enter the address they want the physical version to be sent to, while the friend who purchases the gift is able to pay upfront or add payment details later.

This would make a great present to coffee lovers, especially for Starbucks fans. If I receive that kind of Facebook gift from a friend, I will be very happy, but probably it will not work for everybody. It is a tricky use of social media from Starbucks.

                                                                   

Social Media and coffee

...or can you imagine your morning coffee with no social media?! with no coffee on the keyboard?! - my answer is NO!

  Connect over coffee -meet over coffee

Coffee makes people come together......in different ways - face to face or through social media channels.

Nowadays we use social media everywhere. Social media is news, social media is a friend, social media is sometimes a nice sip of coffee. World changed. People can't always be in the same city, same country or even in the same continent with their friends and relatives. Connecting through the channels of social media while sipping coffee is always fun, if you are reading the news or having a nice chat with a friend or even a stranger....
