What possible value can be derived from following 300K people in an hour? Well, beyond the technologically "cool" effect.

short and sweet! building 2 apps that will be made available in the App store in a few months. This was helpful! Thanks!
I agree with @blutoot they need to focus on Visa and Mastercard. Then again maybe they're going for a higher HHI bracket?
