Peek Speaks
Peek is simply connected. This blog is simply Peek.

Foursquare + Peek Maps

Ever wish you could share your GPS location with a friend?

Peek Maps is a nifty website that does just that — anytime you send an email from your Peek, Peek Maps will pinpoint your location within 1,000 meters.

You can even cut and paste Peek Maps’ handy map widget into any website (like your blog), so readers can see where you are.

Peek Maps and Foursquare, a new (and addictive) social networking game, have teamed up, so if you have a Foursquare account, all of your latest “Check-ins” will appear on your Peek Map, too!

Both services are entirely free, so get signed up at www.peekmaps.com or www.playfoursquare.com!

Back to the Future with Peek

In case you missed it, Peek sponsored a super neat Gadget Club contest with our friends at CrunchGear. The premise of the contest is simple — invent & build (by hand) a prototype of a dream gadget you could imagine RadioShack selling.

There were loads of really creative entries including Tummy Rumbler, a giant food calculator that helps you decide what to eat by pressing “meat” + “cheese” buttons to formulate meals like Cheeseburger, and BotOFF, a robot spray repellent.

Gadget Clubbers voted and the grand prize winner is the back-to-the-futuristic ATOMO atomic printer. That’s right, you can get pizza, books, or anything your heart desires on-demand with this 3D printer that arranges atoms from downloadable atomic blueprints.

Congratulations to ATOMO inventor AV. He need not download an atomic blueprint for Peek Pronto as he receives one as his prize plus $500 in Radio Shack schwag.

3 Ways to Save $ this Summer

Wouldn’t it be nice to save some money this summer?

Gas prices are on the rise again, but an impromptu road trip sure sounds relaxing. Or what about a new gas grill for the Labor Day BBQ. And, don’t the kids deserve new clothes for school this fall?

At Peek, we’re always looking for ways to help our Peeksters save money.

Here are our 3 ways you can save money this summer –

• Peek Savings Plans. Instead of paying month-to-month for your Peek service, sign up for a quarterly or the new annual payment plan & SAVE:3 months for $49.95 (equals $16.67/month, $10 savings)
  1 year for $179.95 (equals $15.00/month, $60 savings)

• Peekster Referrals Program. Refer a friend to Peek and you’ll receive 2 months of free service when they sign up. The new Peeksters also will receive 1 month free.

• Free Peek Classic & 1 month service at Radio Shack. Our friends at Radio Shack are offering a limited time mail-in rebate through September that gets you $40 worth of Peek freebies.

Ready to cash in on these Peeky savings ideas? Call us at 877-677-PEEK (7335) to switch your plan or get credit for a referral. Or search for your closest Radio Shack store here.
