Director/Designer at Postmachina, a multidisciplinary design studio based out of Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
Postmachina is launching its first spinoff, called E (www.hellomynameise.com) very soon.
Imagine you’re at a conference. Meeting people, shaking hands, exchanging business cards. Once the conference is over and you get home, you’re stuck with a gigantic pile of business cards. You’d like to add most of these contacts to you LinkedIn account or your address book. You went out for a post-conference drink with some of the attendees, and would like to add them to Facebook as well.
This means you’ll have to manually add all these contacts. One by one, and for each networking service again. Some people address this problem by sending each other their contact information through a wireless connection on their cellphones. A process which could take up to several minutes to exchange information.
With E, you get a device which enables the user to
exchange contact information with a simple gesture. Hold the devices together for less than a second and they exchange contact information. Once you synchronize the device to a PC or Mac, the information you’ve collected is uploaded to the E service, in which you can add your contacts directly to online services like LinkedIn or Facebook.
But E is not confined to online services. E brings the
benefits of the web to real life situations, and also has the ability to connect to location-based services at conferences or corporate environments. All of this in a splendid user experience. E’s simple design makes it implementable in both business and consumer environments because it addresses a clear problem (the integration of internet outside of conventional environments like computer, smartphones or PDAs), and provides a simple solution (physical gestures which take less than a second to perform) which implement the benefits of online services all at once.
