Project Details

Description

Spotnick visualizes the position of Facebook friends. Their live movements can be perceived with just a few seconds delay if they use Spotnick, too. When they are not moving, Spotnick reveals how long they have been residing at their current location. If friends do not use Spotnick, either their Facebook home location or their latest Facebook postings are displayed. Spotnick always shows the most accurate up-to-date position. Spotnick additionally provides automatic Facebook posts when arriving at a desired location. A self-created Spot anywhere on the map with a visibility radius and any text may "post once" or "post always", i.e., every time the creator arrives at his Spot.
