[...] The tool looks at your Twitter stream, determines what (or how many) of your followers are online, what they’re talking about and what keywords they’re using during their conversations. 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. [...]

[...] I outlined these changes in an earlier post: 1. 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.

I believe there are services (or efforts to bring in these services) in Europe which allow mobile users to receive updates on local events and destinations like retails stores, restaurants etc. within a set limit. 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.
