Bluetooth Meets Bar-Hopping

by Tyler Knott Gregson

Talk about a match made in Heaven, er, or Hell!  I just found a pretty interesting article about how bars in L.A., Chicago and New York are taking technology to the next level by using Bluetooth technology inside the bars to automatically send information, coupons, advertisements and who knows what else to anyones Bluetooth enabled phone inside the bar.

So, combine this technology with say, the Pubwalk-Nightlife Widget from WHERE and not only will you be able to find the nearest bar with GPS technology, you’ll be able to be bombarded by advertisements and hey, maybe even free drink offers from the bar you’re stalking.  Not bad my friends not bad at all.

This does raise the question, however, as to where is the line drawn?  When is it “too much” when it comes to ad’s, commercials, or spam?  That’s up to you to decide I suppose, whatever the case may be if you are in either of the Big 3 cities, head to one of the bars and try it out!
