Summary

The idea is to emulate the “mouth-to-mouth” spreading of news in a peer-to-peer manner, while at the same time fully respecting users’ location and information privacy. Information is both time-specific and location-specific and users are both the biggest source and the biggest consumer of news. WoM distributes less-viewed news to people that would like to be informed of them without having to actively search for information; based on relevant phenomena occurring at the user’s time and place.

The solution

“Word of Mouth” is a privacy-aware, user-friendly software that will enable fast and passive distribution of location-and-time-specific trending news to interested users.
