WorldWhitePages at BarCamp by Søren Raarup soren@rasor.dk
Presentation of me • Father of three. • Don't spend a lot of time getting cleverer - Would like to increase that time. Maybe a project or study group would be a good start. • So here I throw a few balls in the air, which might start something...
The balls • One idea followed another... • It would be great to have an application where race results are stored and statistics made (great for me as a runner ). - "But what's news?" • It would be great the app could contact the participants of the race to get a confirmation if they were the ones who participated.
"Why would that be so great?" • If the participant had not registered in the app, then the app could try to contact the participant and ask him to register.- "More details please..." • It is interesting if an app can contact a user it only knows by name.
"Isn't that called spam?" • Well yes, but in this case people have said yes to spam. • "What do you mean?" • In Facebook people subscribe to apps. The apps then contact the subscribers once in a while. There are probably a whole lot of places and technologies which in this way allow apps to contact people.
"Ok, but why would any subscribe to this spam app?" • We'll the Facebook segment love to expose their interests. When the apps are interest specific, then they would also like to subscribe.
"Why the name World White Pages?" • Well there could be a layer between the race app (from the first slide) and Facebook. This layer could connect to several social network services in order to get in contact with users. • Likewise there could be a World Yellow Pages to get in contact with groups and and companies.
