Can IBM Help SMBs?
IBM isn't the first name that snaps to mind when we think about helping Small To Medium Sized Businesses (SMBs). But IBM has opened their Watson APIs (Application Program Interfaces), and that may help our online merchants not starve as they live next to the largest grocery store in the world (the Internet). 

Opening up those APIs was smart. Now the question is can we model a predictive community / commerce future to identify intent, aspirations and...well everything. 

The post we shared on Curagami explains how our Community In A Box (http://www.curagami.com/community-in-a-box/ ) quickly leads to starving living next to a grocery store. 100 Ambassadors sharing User Generated Content (UGC) every three days and we get 73,000 pieces of data. Small numbers become BIG NUMBERS fast in our world. 

If all of that sounds like we must have a predictive analytics engine funny that is what we were thinking too. Will report back on our work with IBM's APIs.
