Science and Industry

I worked during the summer with OtaSizzle, which has a main component (Aalto Social Interface) that allows everyone to build new services ontop of it. Even thought my work effort is not especially well visible, it feels goof — finally got something out in the wild.

Now the system is go in the sense that there has been a huge marketing push of the two lead services, Kassi and Ossi.¹ There are even actual users of in these services.

Well, this is a research thing after all. The guys in HIIT are intressed in the groups and related stuff. I might be doing some social network analysis based on that data… And let’s see what else we can pull out from this.

1. Kassi is a service that facilitates exchange of favors and items and Ossi is a mobile, context aware social service [↩]
