Plug ecommerce to cell phones, which are carried with prospect like
shadow or clothing. Timing is an essence to effective marketing
strategy. Alert, position, reinforce prospect right when prospect is
about to make a purchase. That's where gWoof set of tools will turn
inconvenience into profits. Since these tools will work on near real
time basis - new business models would be adaptable at click of the
mouse.


There is disconnect between e commerce and brick and mortar reality -
cell phones are the means to plug this gap. Be a part of solution
which will redefine next generation e marketing solutions.


We have conceptualized the frame work at business level; we are
seeking venture capitalists as well. At technical level our designs
are ready we need technical partners to write applications who would
get partnerships in return for their time and skills invested. We are
currently seeking 2-3 partner developers who would work on this
program with us on equal partnership. We are currently two members
(with marketing and tech skills) and seeking 2 or 3 more. Technical
mentoring is a bonus to work on this program; we need the right person
with few years of exp and skill on Java and similar technology.


Potential is enormous - we are hoping with level of sophistication we
would get venture capital when our program will be implemented at
commercial level. Depending of the terms of deal we could be acquired
by a big company. As a partner, you shall get fair share of proceeds.
In more immediate terms we shall participate in G Phone - application
of the championship. If we win once again you shall share remuneration
in terms of partnership.


Join the force now by working on side and get ready for you big pay
day on March 8, 2008.

Excuse me, but are you serious? How can one possibly commit to do
anything not knowing what to do and how much (s)he gets?

And why does your parent company link to Microsoft and dot-Net?

Hi DealRow,

I didn't understand a word of what you were trying to say, but I had a
look at your homepage:
http://www.gwoof.com/Retail.htm

and I have to admit, I like the examples you give there. You state
quite a couple of creative ways to use the Android platform.

Given the time-frame you have, it is probably quite a huge task to
implement all of what you suggest. It may be beneficial for you then,
to build your closed-source product using a great open source platform
that is being currently developed for Android: It is called
OpenIntents.

The examples that you state for retail and restaurant could benefit
greatly from a central open shopping list that we are currently
developing. Imagine your customer types in "M" into your cool gWoof
application to look for the cheapest milk in near-by shops. Since you
based your shopping list on OpenIntents, many other applications on
your phone share the shopping list. For example, the "internet
auction" application may send you a notification that it has found
cheap milk to be delivered within 24 hours by some online vendor. Or
your "good health" application notifies you that you had bought too
much milk already that contains too much fat, and you'd better drink
water. Or the "nearby events" application tells you about the cow fair
that is taking place just a block away, where you can get fresh (warm)
milk for free!

I hope you see how your possibilities and the potential of success of
your application may multiply if you base your closed-source
application on solid grounding in the form of an open-source approach.
You benefit from work that others have done for free and you can focus
your efforts on user interface, usability, marketing case studies, and
so on.

Please have a look at our project home page:
http://code.google.com/p/openintents/

You are welcome to join us and help to shape the interfaces for
shopping lists and other commonly used core functionality so that your
program can make the most profit out of it.

Hope to see you soon,
Peli :-)

Hi Peli,

I think the openintents idea is a good one. I see you heavily
advertising your project, so I did a checkout of the code but from
what I can tell there are less than a dozen classes in the project and
most of those minimal. I know that this is a chicken and egg problem
but maybe the code base needs to be beefed up before pointing everyone
to it and telling them it will be useful to their projects.

Regards,
Shane

Hi Shane,

Yes, that's a fair remark. At the current stage though I'd like to
invite developers to participate in the evolving process. I apologize
if I made it sound like we have a ready product already. We are
working hard on it, and we would like to have developers as well as
users participate in this process, but if you are only interested in
the final product, please have a look at our progress again in a
couple of weeks.

Regards,
Peli

Going grossly off target from the original thread (apologies to deal
row), but I do think the openintent model is neat. I think
enforceability may be a bit hard, with bad actors, as well as
competitors spread across the globe, all governed under different
laws. Some guys may not want to pony up the money should they win but
will have their hand out if they don't.

As I recall, originally Google stated that they want to award
individual developers but then teams formed, now we have the
openintent idea of competitor-pooling. This concept is something that
I would like Google to look into so that they can put guarantees in
place. While the competitor-pooling concept is experimental, it holds
promise.

Shane
