SSID Dating

Intro Almost everything we use these day’s supports wireless. So why not using it to find the love of your life or people to spend the day with? Yes, you can say it’s a bit geeky.

So what if we can change this all and have real conversations with people who are in a radius of 50 to 100 meters. See it as real life twitter where you just join the conversation with people you have never seen before.

The SSID can be up to 32 characters long. Maybe we can create something to broadcast multiple SSIDs or let the text scroll.

What standards are we going to use?

I think 802.11b as in everyone receive this signal.
