Hi Harvey - thanks for letting me know about Social Media Week. I will definitely pass the info on to the members of our social media team.
Joe, This sounds very interesting. You might want to consider participating in Social Media Week Chicago. We'd love to have Walgreens involved and are looking for additional mobile marketing program content. http://www.builtinchicago.org/blog/get-involved-social-media-week-chicago
Hi Christopher - We are working on an API based model to support all mobile platforms. It should be available sometime in October. Follow us on Twitter via @WalgreensAPI to stay in the loop on when that is available. Thanks for the feedback!
Would love to have FotoJelly participate, but unfortunately your SDK doesn't support Windows Phone....yet(?!)
