Transformation Online As Well

From time to time you may get one of these messages from our website:

“The Starbucks Coffee Company website you are attempting to reach is
temporarily down for maintenance.

“We apologize for any inconvenience, and appreciate your patience as we
improve our site.

“Please check back at a later time. “

I realize that this is an inconvenience and we strive to deliver the same excellence online as we do in our stores. To that end, when our servers our down for maintenance or for any other reason, we will endeavor to give you an estimated time for repair so that you know when to return.

In this 2.0 world, you should also be able to access the information you want when you want it, so we should be distributing our content in micro-sized slices that you can subscribe to via RSS and on any device.

While we won’t commit to every request and must prioritize those that bring the best experience for our Partners and customers, why don’t you weigh-in below on what and how you want information from us. Got a great idea for an application or want to promote one you’ve already created? Here’s a good place to start.

I’m sure the open source community will beat us to the punch on the ones they have the most heart for–we’ve heard it takes a lot of Starbucks to run on 2.0.
