Once the system determines that you (the publisher) has something interesting to offer, it tweets out a link that’s contextual to the conversation. The right link at the right time, theoretically speaking, translates to more effective responses and higher clickthroughs. SocialFlow in many ways is a startup built for the new, data-rich, real-time web with the concept of serendipity as its driving principle. [...]

The web is transitioning from mere interactivity to a more dynamic, real-time web where read-write functions are heading towards balanced synchronicity. The real-time web, as I have argued in the past, is the next logical step in the Internet’s evolution. (read) 2. The complete disaggregation of the web in parallel with the slow decline of the destination web. (read) 3. More and more people are publishing more and more “social objects” and sharing them online.

It works like this: When a mobile user is at a city center, say Delhi’s Connaught Place, he will receive updates from the operator about his chosen services- Pubs in the area, Cinema listings and the like.

Taking this a step ahead, the system can let the user know of friends within his vicinity, or maybe more interesting things based on his interests.

Truly a great business model….to think. to implement? Lets wait for a pioneer.
