Popalong App
Do you want to go to the cinema, but have no one to go with? Popalong is the answer.
I’ve had the Popalong idea for many years and developed a full outline. If you are interested in taking it forward, feel free to contact me by clicking here
This is how it works…
Sarah (28) wants to see the new Hunger Games film. She has no one to go with. She logs onto the Popalong App. There’s a map populated with map pins of attractions. Theatres, museums, English Heritage, National Trust, Aquariums, theme parks, cinemas and art galleries… Any place that is a public attraction (not a bar, cafe or restaurant) and will take more than 1 hour to visit.
Sarah finds her local cinema and posts a message saying…
“I would like to see the new Hunger Games film one evening next week. Message me if you would like to come with me.”
Helen (57) logs into the app and can either post her own message on the map pin. Or she can search existing posts by clicking on the map pins. Helen sees Sarah’s post and sends her a private message. After getting to know each other in chat, they arrange to go to the cinema together.
KEY POINTS
- Users are not able to search profiles!! There is no swipe left/swipe right
- Users can only see other people’s profiles via the messages they post on a map pin. There is a constant throughput of people looking at attractions
- To keep the site current, posts only last for 3 weeks before being automatically deleted
- Not restricted to ‘dating.’ Instead, it is aimed at friendship irrespective of status. Meet in the real, not the virtual.
- Can be expanded to families and groups
- MEET THE PERSON, NOT THE PROFILE!
Bird Song App
Meet through the love of music. The Birdsong App is a song of the community. This is how it works:
- There’s a tiled display of profiles mapped by distance (a bit like Grindr). There is no description or status, only a single picture.
- An independent musician posts their song from their current location.
- User A can like the song, and it becomes part of their repertoire.
- User B can click on the profiles, and it plays the songs that the user has liked with a link back to the independent musician.
- If user B likes the songs and the picture, they can start a private chat based on their shared love of music.
This means that every community has their own songs and distinct sound. When you travel, you enter a new soundscape of local songs.
Only Mineral Water
A carton of mineral water printed with local adverts on two panels.
The product is the mineral water; the product is the packaging.
Will open the market to advertising on the shelf and the customer will spend time with advert as they consume the contents.
