CityPulse

Circuit City has announced that it will be working with Pulse LLC to launch what it calls a 'unified community and social network' site, while the platform is described as a 'Retail Social Commerce' system. It seems to be some combination of an online Learning Management System, which acts as a portal for manufacturers to upload online learning modules, plus various associated Web 2.0 capabilities. With the staff turnover rate so high in many electronics retailers, finding an economic way of training transient store staff has been one of the many problems bedevilling this sector.
