Since we have been talking about networking (Second Life), I was reminded of this project that I saw a while ago.

What they do is collect the contacts off ones phone and have people call each other from your contact list. They use bluetooth to collect info, which a lot of people will just leave on.

In searching information about bluetooth, I found this article in wired about this artist who draws out what radiowaves may look like in a project called "The Bubbles of Radio."

I mentioned this a little bit earlier to a few people on an idea I had for a project.
Since you can use bluetooth to search out devices within a short range (crowded subway),
I'm thinking about using the phone as a way to connect to strangers. With my phone you can forward a contact to another device. I was thinking of creating a contact, which the name would be something along the lines of "Hey there, tell me something about yourself." and an email address attached to it and then from there start having conversations over email with these people that are within 10 feet of me, but have no clue who they are.
It's just the start of the idea, I'd like to develop it a bit more.
What do you guys think?

good....do it. "hey there, tell me about yourself" sounds like an automated response, which seem fitting. What if the statement was really intimate?
