Bargain With Big Brother: Facebook App To Offer Customer Deals By Spying
rt.com
A planned targeted advertising system can mine your Facebook pictures to identify you, and automatically check you in to a business you’re visiting. It will then offer you personalized deals and coupons, creators say.
Dubbed ‘Facedeals,’ the system is the brainchild of advertising agency Redpepper, based in Nashville, Tennessee. It uses Wi-Fi-equipped cameras to compare the faces of people entering a business to photos uploaded to Facebook. Once a person is identified, a special offer based on whether they ‘liked’ the business, and how often, may be sent to their smartphone.
Users must first install a Facebook app that will extract data from their profile and peg it to facial recognition software. In a preview video, a Redpepper spokesperson explains: “Check-ins provide a powerful mechanism for businesses to deliver discounts to loyal customers.
But few businesses and even fewer customers are taking advantage of this. So we set out to evolve the check-in process by creating a seamless method for checking in and getting deals.”
