Using cell phones to interact with digital screens in bars and post live on social networking sites
LocaModa has joined forces with SeeSaw’s extensive out-of-home network to allow patrons to use their mobile phones to interact with digital screens in public places.
Now people in social places like bars or restaurants can connect with others in the venue as well as their online friends by engaging with interactive digital signs.
Friends with access to the Web will be able to virtually join their friends in a bar without leaving their homes, see what's going on in their favorite hang-out, and participate in conversations through social networks like Facebook and Twitter.
A conversation in your favorite bar can now turn into an interactive online experience (and vice versa), pulling in your social graph with a simple, standard SMS.
