Great stuff! Would also be great to have your own x-ray results in a embeddable 3D some day...Imagine going to the dentist and say:"want to have a 3D view of my mouth ? Go on www..." Or share on Facebook a 3D version of the leg you broke after a skiing session...etc

Did Edward Snowden backed the project ?

Yes we will, we are working on including some NFC tags in the package but as this is still not totally sure for now we didn't publicly announce anything on that. QR Codes might also do the job but we are not totally sure that people actually use it... (Damn Apple & Android, this SHOULD be native in their camera...)

Hey Helpful_Bunny !

I'm Gauthier, the CEO @Smiirl & I can confirm you that it's a real product, the fact that I've worked in various companies in the Advertising Industry is indeed linked to this project, I had the idea by working closely on social media campains & issues for great brands...

Don't understand though why you've been downvoted...

The counter is in real realtime, in fact we'll slow it a bit so that you have the time to see the flap going down.

We focused on Facebook for this first launch in order to stay focus on one product well designed for businesses, and to "market" it the simplest way (and as you said, it's still a bit costly for a particular).

And for NFC, we didn't announce it for now cause we have a lot to work on but our goal is to deliver Fliike with NFC tags to our clients.

Wow, that's encouraging for us, you totally seized what we are trying to do with this device. Let's get in touch!

We've build this device for local businesses such as little stores, shops, bars, restaurants...etc, it seems that the average number of fans of these types of fan pages is comprised between 0 and 99 999 fans.. Plus we are sure that Facebook pages with over 100 000 fans would prefer a custom version of Fliike.

Yep, we'll work on that, we wanted to make it very simple and very clear at the beginning and in the future we'll expand this device with an open api!
