OpenDoor
Idea: I got the idea from the dry erase doors set up in the new University center dorms.
OpenDoor or OD would be a blend between the socializing aspect of Facebook and the pseudo-world type realities of Second-Life and Home for PlayStation.
At the top level there would be a global view of earth in Wire outline of the sphere and continents. On the sphere, there would be a speck of light for each area that is connected with a brighter light for the amount of people in this connection (similar to the way we view artificial light (such as car lights, street lights, buildings and homes) from a satellite during nighttime.
As the user zoomed into an area he would see generic buildings in that area with doors lining each side as if a floating apartment hallway. These would be other users who you could enter their “room” if you were friends are leave public messages on their door or slide in private mail under the door.
The user could open his or her own room and choose any global position or even have a roaming door that followed the GPS position.
Inside the users room would be windows with user populated content such as pictures and videos, Private Mail Box, Public Door, and Walls. Walls would be scrolling with friends Post that were open to anyone with visitor access to the room to see and news, events etc that the user wanted his friends to see.
