HEC PEOPLE
The Vision of the HEC People project is to connect people by enhancing serendipity and thus increasing happiness in the world.
People usually hang out with the people they already know, the Mobile application and Website of HEC People will make it easier to discover hidden facts about people around you. Did you know that you have 5 Facebook Friends in common with the guy who is sitting right in front of you? The girl next to you follows the same people on Twitter and shares a couple of your interests, another friend's favorite restaurant check-in on Foursquare show that you have the same taste. Although these information are available on the internet nowadays there is no smart recommendation engine yet which sends you push-notifications when someone is nearby who you could possibly like and want to get to know. Maybe he knows someone in the company you would like to work for or you have both been at the same vacation spot at the same time a year ago. All these seemingly small and simple things in common will make it easier to connect to new people. Our world is all about people - this project aims to bring us closer together and to make use of the fact that we are carrying the internet on our phones with us all the time. Come join us for this project - it is exciting! Furthermore if you have great developer friends, we need them too!
