This week we are pleased to have the Nick Bicanic, CEO of Echo Echo, a mobile location app as our guest. Thanks Nick !
Nick Bicanic — CEO, Founder
Nick mixes left brain and right brain stuff on an ongoing basis. Charming if desired - rude and cutting if required - Nick is equally at home on an MMA fighting mat, a unix command prompt, a mast-high crushing north swell, behind the controls of a helicopter, convincing a board about strategic changes of direction, field-stripping a SIG 552 Commando blind-folded or inventing new paradigms in mobile phone user interface design.
- Today's topics:
Q1: Why do mobile apps/cloud services need a users address book? Is the solution to warn users - or just to build better services? (background available at TechCrunch: Dear Apple, Address Book-Gate Is Sort Of Your Fault)
Q2: Push vs. Pull: Should we be pushing (broadcasting our location to others) or Pulling (asking others for their location)? What are the implications of this on consumer services (privacy, UX, battery life)? Privacy settings for sharing - should they be on the device or in the cloud? - Announcements
- Introductions
