Re: FYI - Physical Web

Hi all,

I had a talk on that with 
Charalampos Doukas
Thomas Amberg

on this latest Google initiative: trailing on urls for objects

https://github.com/google/physical-web/blob/master/documentation/technical_overview.md <https://github.com/google/physical-web/blob/master/documentation/technical_overview.md>

and we realized that as you assign your device through the (bluetooth) beacon you are effectively adding these devices to the Google web. So if you go out to a friend you will see their devices. But in what order? Who prioritizes the devices, according to which criteria? Google ads! :)- the relevant sorting. Maybe you have to pay for being shown all devices on the discovery list?

So dangerous and yet so alluring to developers, just assign urls to objects.

The idea itself is good.

Thomas says: you as a user will help them catalogue the devices — location

But what if the list goes to an open and public initiative? It should not feed into Google of course.

Then you could walk around and feed your local internet of neighborhoods,

Greetings, Rob
