Mid-Air Messages To Your Mobile

wilfie writes "Mid-air messages are content for delivery to handheld devices which is relevant to the user's current location. A serious trial of a system for delivering mid-air messages is to be financed by the UK government in the City of Bristol, according to an article on the BBC website. The article refers to the Annotate Space project doing something similar in New York. The Bristol scheme looks like being a guide for tourists, but what other kinds of content would we welcome, and what would we not? Would we even be willing to pay for it?"

Re:What I don't want..

Please.

anti-smoking bubbles near stores -- I don't have a problem with this at all. Smoking is disgusting, and if this is a way to eliminate smoking from public areas, so much the better.

anti-meat bubbles near markets -- As a practicing vegetarian, I can't really say I have a problem with this either. No meat == good health, it's simply a fact at this point. I have a right to a meat free area, if I so choose at my own establishment.

anti-fur near malls -- You seal clubbing bastard! Seriously. What could anyone possibly want to do with fur? There is not one reason to have fur anywhere - it should be against the law! Since it unfortunately isn't, I don't see a real problem with evoking some guilt from the mega wealthy murderers who wear fur.

I think this could be a great idea, if implemented correctly. You are simply misguided.
