I’d like to try this with our Adventure Passport contest where people have to go around the area’s vacation hotspots and get a hole punch on a card and at the end hand it in for prizes. Next level could be them swiping the card with their facebook Id’s! WOW!

For the people that think this is the mark of the beast. Obviously, you dont read your bibles. The mark is contrary to Gods mark. The mark is NOT technology rather WORSHIP! Why would God care about a silly chip? How does receiving a chip in your shoulder negate worship? Do you really think satan is that stupid to just tattoo your forehead? Bible pretty clear is all about worship. A national ID card can be used to control buying or selling. Wake up lost sheep. Wake up and stop listning to the media.

go to you tube and watch these videos

Really interesting!

Nice to see that Facebook is getting into the physical world!We've been working on bridging the gap between online and offline worlds for a year now at Getyoo, the company I am working for.

We clearly see many opportunities in the use of RFID for connecting people and extend the internet to the real world.

We have developed a small RFID device (the Clickey) that can be worn as a keychain or a necklace. It allows to connect with people, objects and 'things' in the real world in order to collect digital content or exchange contact information. It's a convenient networking tool allowing to share 'digital business cards' or profiles in real life.

A Clickey can also read RFID tags, small stickers that can be placed on objects. They are linked to digital content such as a sheet product, a coupon, or a Power Point presentation, a PDF, a video, a website, or any type of content available on the web. Getyoo users just need to insert their key into their computer’s USB port to retrieve all the information selected earlier.

We use the system for events such as trade shows and conferences, it's a greener alternative to catalogues and flyers so people don't need to carry around tons of documents and business cards.

We're developing other features and we love to see the work of others integrating online and offline worlds. I hope we'll get to see more about this Facebook experiment.

Wow. I was thinking about this yesterday.

Is RFID more accurate than GPS? I Think Yes, besides GPS is "wide".

I Think could be used inside places like rooms or discos and Augmented Reality applications could be integrated with Social Media Data.

Interesting.

We deployed three "proactive display" applications using RFID readers and large screens at the UbiComp 2003 conference. The passive RFID tags we used could be detected from a range of about 10-15 feet, and while everyone had to opt-in – by creating an online profile and inserting the 2"x3" tag into their name badge sleeve – there were no explicit check-ins for the different applications.

Each of the three applications – AutoSpeakerID, Ticket2Talk and Neighborhood Window – revealed different aspects of people's online profiles in the physical spaces they were sharing with others. Over the course of the three days, several people used (or "gamed") the system in interesting ways we had not anticipated.

I hope you'll report more on your experience with the tags and displays at f8.
