Hey zambrano!

First of all welcome to jovoto!

Could you please also add an english description?

The lounge sounds cool, but do I have to think of a "second life" kinda service? The speed-dating function sounds interesting, but with the wording speed-dating I think of speed-dating to meet partners. Perhaps you should go for another wording there. How would the dating service exactly work, i would just activate my account that i'm willing to meet other people? I would also like to know the details of the 11 functions. What do you exactly mean with "local shopping" and what would be the benefit of renting out ipods?

Overall i would like to know how this technically would work with the mandatory media wall, touch tables and work stations :) Looking forward to your updates!

Hello Jvanboxtel, thank you for your message. I am going to add an English description these days.

You are right. I should write something like “business-speed-dating” to make it more explicit.

It’s absolutely your own decision to participate in this service. If you’re looking for some guests for doing sport, dancing or having lunch, you should use this quick and easy business service. Therefore you need a nickname, your age and subject. Then you get a list with all guests to choose and save most useful contacts around you. As soon as someone chooses you that way, you can start online communication and end up in the lounge downstairs. It’s a cross between badoo.com and popular method from business exhibition.

To rent an ipod might be useful for guests who don’t have any smartphone, but interesting in using free online services.

I hope to give you more answers next time.

Von der Idee her gut durchdacht. An der Optik kann noch viel gefeilt werden.

interesting idea!!
