Hi, Lisa from crazy kissing project here. Thanks for the interest.
To expand on the original email:
We're at an early stage of development and can't claim to have answered all
potential bugs in the concept/system. That is partly why we need to build a
prototype.
But to address a few of the issues raised:
[1] Duplicate name issue - the ever popular Bob Smith- we thought of asking
for a couple of extra details from participants - eg. location/year and a
special detail of the event. Which should solve the problem for all but the
most comatose of experiences!
[2] Motives for participation - certainly we can't take it for granted that
everyone will kiss and tell, but [a] we can build in incentives eg. see how
many branches you are away from Brad Pitt and [b] the project doesn't rely
on everyone in the world participating to work - just an awful lot.
[3] Publicity: This project is in part an attempt to test some of the limits
of 'viral' communication. Best bit about it is that, when it works, costs
are minimal.
[4] defamation - being Brits this wasn't one of our first thoughts! But good
point. Still we can protect people in various ways:
[a] maybe participants need to divulge details of a kiss that others
wouldn't know. But could still be faked I guess, by someone maliciously
setting up a whole lot of email addresses and fake validations.
[b] Also each kissing tree won't be accessible to everyone, only the
originator - maybe to 6 generations out.
Help?? Any ideas? Or is kissing sufficiently innocent behaviour to be
lawsuit free?
There are certainly challenges to tighten the concept/execution - not least
the visual representation of a multidimensional 'kissing tree' squashed flat
- that's why you experts have been called in. Our expertise is not backend
brilliance- Default will be responsible for making the design, marketing and
PR side of this project fly.
Lisa
