Glass, a program to share comments

Joaquin Ayuso, one of the pioneers of Tuenti, has made a radical life change, while maintaining the entrepreneurial essence. Its part of the 70 million paid by Telefónica's Tuenti could have spent on a sports and live life in California. Prefer to go to work on an old jeep and continue to build in Los Angeles.

Do not forget that your profile was the first social network that prevails in Spain, and he began to write code for one of the most popular words among Spanish youth, but believes that now, their war is another. Also a social factor and where privacy is important ... but focused on knowledge.

"Entry by invitation is not for an elite. Is to secure" Glass (www. writeonglass. Com) looks like a network, in fact in some ways functions as such, but focuses on sharing and discussing what is considered interesting , relevant or worthy of being told to the people of a particular environment.

Under the slogan "he writes in a glass," Glass to create a conversation on any web page without having to send an email. For now, as happened in Tuenti, the service is by invitation and create groups of contacts according to user choice. To use it, as well as to register you need to install a plug-in (a supplement) in your browser and works on Firefox and Chrome.

Glass, glass in Spanish, create an intermediate layer, invisible, between the user and the content, so that while reading a story, for example, can open a window just to the height of the paragraph, photo or video you want to discuss. It is transparent, does not affect content. But at the same time is private, only see the contacts that are decided.

From the initial comments in this pop-created at the same level of visual content to highlight you can create a conversation in context, with links, photos or YouTube videos are embedded directly. The next step are two aspects whose combination is not surprising. The mobile and augmented reality.

"Can you imagine being at a meal in a restaurant, take a picture of it and tell my sister who has to prove it?" He says in a mixture of fantasy and dream, "scan the reality is the last step and thanks to smartphones, the geo and tools like Glass can be more social, but also more practical and sharing knowledge, not only playful aspects of our lives.

We move from the anecdotal to the experience, "he adds. Technological creativity, in his opinion, is not only in San Francisco, Stanford and Palo Alto: "From Los Angeles you can create interesting projects and at an acceptable cost." He says, precisely, a person who met with fellow students in a cafeteria VIPS near Nuevos Ministerios (Madrid) or who created the investment club ICADE bag.

Her obsession now is privacy. "This is not to be paranoid, but being clean and conscious of what we're telling," he qualifies. "Entry Tuenti both as now in Glass by invitation is not to create an elite, but that everyone feels safe and with people they know in the real world."
