bluetooth Billboard   (+5, -3)  [vote for, against]
bluetooth enabled public billboards

Everyone seems to like sending stupid videos to everyone using mobile phones and most have bluetooth. The idea would be a billboard either in a club or a public place which rotates user uploaded videos. Probably a good idea to have someone screening what's uploaded before it's displayed but it could take off.

This might work well for a 'free speech area' type of place (i.e., a space you enter at your own risk)

Vain and well-prepared people could use it as an alternative to the film-quoting sail (link).

I like it. BUT who would pay for it? I don't want my taxes to rise to fund 'free advertising' for folks ....?

Yeah, but what if one of the uploaders decides to put an 'unmentionable' picture for all the kids to see in public?

it's being screened before viewing... Plus if this is in a club or somewhere then they could charge for downloads?

Have them installed in Supermarkets, to post ads and news, to increase sense of cummunity, and pear-to- pear off-line communication.

// pear-to- pear off-line communication //

A fruitful line of development,no doubt.
