Temporary Social Networks
"You can talk to people near you or you can text them."- a silly choice
I recently read an article which described an interesting concept. The concept was a temporary local social network. It made me curious enough to read on.
A hotel chain is experimenting with having a local social network for their guests so that they can learn about each other. They are hoping to get people to interact and meet each other. The network also ties the guests to the local businesses and activities. This way guests can meet and hopefully sample local restaurants and activities.
I thought that this was interesting in that the hotel is trying to get people to meet. What happened to just opening yourself to meeting others in teh lobby of a hotel? I guess with smart phones it is a lost art.
Today's question is:
"Are you open to meeting people while out and about?"
